Patient's question:
My sister has chronic gastritis and is taking traditional Chinese medicine, but her condition is still fluctuating. After eating, she feels hungry again after two or three hours and needs to eat. She also wakes up two or three times at night due to hunger. If she doesn't eat, her stomach hurts. It has been six months, and there has been no significant improvement. What should she do?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is chronic gastritis. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used for effective treatment. It is best for you to go to a local hospital for a detailed and thorough examination to identify the cause and provide timely symptomatic treatment based on the etiology. Additionally, pay attention to your diet by eating less raw and cold foods, as well as foods that are irritating. Consume easily digestible liquid foods, and base your diet on simplicity. Avoid overtime work, drinking beer, and focus on enhancing nutrition. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary, and maintaining a positive mood is essential.
