Patient's question:
The hospital's gastroscopy revealed chronic superficial gastritis and mild duodenal ulcers, but the doctor said it was just indigestion. Additionally, there is bad breath, mouth pain, and slightly thick tongue coating. The illness has been ongoing for two years without improvement. What medication is good for chronic superficial gastritis and duodenal ulcers?Doctor's answer:
Chronic superficial gastritis and mild duodenal ulcers both fall under the category of chronic stomach conditions. Your condition is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to the inability of clear Qi to ascend and the inability of turbid Qi to rise, resulting in symptoms such as bad breath. Generally, conventional medications are difficult to (cure) this condition. Since you have not received proper treatment, there is a possibility of the condition worsening further. Therefore, it is essential to receive correct treatment to achieve a timely cure, avoiding prolonged illness that could lead to further deterioration.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. I recommend using traditional Chinese herbs such as black sulfur, black jujubes, walnuts, and beeswax in combination for treatment, which can completely cure the condition.
