Patient's question:
After meals, I often feel stomach bloating, dry heaving, and nausea. My appetite is also poor, and I've been sick for several years. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for an endoscopy, and the doctor said it's chronic gastritis. What medicine is good for chronic gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis is considered to be superficial gastritis caused by long-term improper diet, often presenting with symptoms such as upper abdominal distension and fullness, belching, acid reflux, reduced appetite, or irregular dull upper abdominal pain that worsens after meals. The management of superficial gastritis should be based on dietary adjustments, with meals being regular, emphasizing a diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins, and appropriately balancing trace elements. Regular physical exercise should be maintained, and a positive mental state should be kept. Medications such as Lanzu and aluminum hydroxide can be taken to alleviate discomfort. In addition to timely medical treatment, patients with gastritis need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude greatly assists in the complete recovery from the disease.
