Patient's question:
At noon, my stomach hurt, feeling cold, sour, and bloated. After lunch, the stomach pain worsened. I ate a flatbread and potatoes at noon. Now I feel very uncomfortable. Is there any way to relieve it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it may be caused by chronic gastritis. The treatment medications include sodium bicarbonate (also known as baking soda), aluminum hydroxide gel, calcium carbonate, and 10% magnesium hydroxide, as well as cross-linked preparations such as Gelusil, Gastrid, Pepto-Bismol, and Mylanta (which primarily contain antacids). After a period of treatment, there will be a certain degree of stability. In terms of diet, it is important to follow a light and simple diet for the treatment of stomach pain. There are many methods for treating stomach pain, but since the symptoms of the patients are different, the diagnostic methods adopted are also different. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to treat the symptoms accordingly.
