Patient's question:
Last two weeks, I've been eating takeout lunch every day. By 4:30 in the afternoon, I started feeling a dull ache in my stomach. This condition has been getting worse, with the pain lasting longer and longer. Four days ago, I started bringing my own lunch, but I still experience stomach pain in the afternoon. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to check for Helicobacter pylori infection. If this bacterium is present, antibiotic treatment should be administered. Only by eradicating Helicobacter pylori can the condition be cured. Additionally, for patients with gastric acid issues, their dietary condition and care during treatment are also crucial. Patients must digest vitamins, prevent stomach upset, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
