Patient's question:
How severe are superficial gastritis with erosion? A gastroscopy is needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment selection. However, this condition can be relieved, and there is no need to be overly anxious or worried. It is best to focus on a carbon breath test for thorough examination, and consider medication based on the test results. If the carbon breath test is positive, then antibiotics and acid-reducing medications should be considered for combined treatment. A follow-up carbon breath test should be conducted after one course of treatment.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this situation is generally not very serious. You can treat it with oral medication. Generally, you can take oral medications to inhibit gastric acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa, while also taking antibiotics. You can also consult a local Chinese medicine practitioner to regulate your condition through syndrome differentiation and treatment using traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has the effects of nourishing yin and stomach, strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion, and neutralizing acid and promoting blood circulation. You should avoid spicy and irritating foods and maintain a light diet.
