Patient's question:
Upper abdominal pain is periodic, and sometimes there is also acid reflux and nausea in the stomach. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had a stomach ulcer. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
It's likely gastritis or a digestive ulcer that could be causing this. It's best to have an endoscopy for a thorough examination. I recommend taking Lansoprazole, Colloidal Bismuth Capsules, and Clarithromycin to try. You must avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, extremely cold, and spicy foods. Also, reduce your intake of starchy foods. For severe cases of gastric ulcers, it's advisable to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on over-the-counter medications to treat the condition, as this could worsen the situation. The above advice is for reference only. I hope the answer above can help you. Thank you.
