Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, with a dull pain in my stomach sometimes accompanied by symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but it started again. What medicine should I take for bile reflux gastritis to get better?Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, for bile reflux disease, an endoscopy is needed to confirm the diagnosis. If diagnosed, medication such as itopride or mosapride can be taken to promote gastrointestinal motility and reduce reflux. Additionally, proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole can be used to alleviate symptoms. If Helicobacter pylori is positive, antibiotics should also be added, such as pantoprazole. If pantoprazole alone is not effective, metoclopramide can be added. These two medications work well together. Then, paying attention to diet can lead to rapid relief.
