Patient's question:
Grandma has known for a long time that she has a stomach problem, but it was just occasional stomach pain. She would buy some stomach medicine and it would be fine. Because we were too busy with work, we didn't take her to the hospital for a thorough check-up. We kept putting it off for seven or eight years. But recently, she said the pain was very severe, much worse than usual, with a burning sensation in her chest. Even taking medicine didn't help.Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis or indigestion. It is recommended to pay attention to diet, avoid spicy, fried, and irritating foods, such as garlic, scallions, and ginger, and limit their intake. Avoid alcohol. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements, and opt for a light and easily digestible diet. You can also take some stomach medication, but dietary adjustment is the foundation of treating chronic gastritis. Specific medication varies from person to person, and patients should follow their doctor's prescription. Overeating or irregular eating habits during the Chinese New Year period can easily lead to stomach problems, especially excessive consumption of meat and greasy foods, which can cause indigestion and damage the stomach lining, leading to gastritis. In addition to medication for stomach problems, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
