Patient's question:
I've had stomach pain for several days now, and despite taking many stomach pain medications, I haven't fully recovered. A friend mentioned that it might be gastritis. I don't know what the symptoms of gastritis are.Doctor's answer:
When gastritis is severe, it can lead to gastric perforation because the erosion spreads, causing dysfunction and endocrine imbalance in the stomach, which may also result in gastric bleeding. If this situation occurs, immediate medical treatment is necessary. In daily life, proper dietary care should be taken, including consuming plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as easily digestible high-protein foods. Avoid spicy and cold foods to protect the stomach from cold and prevent catching a cold.
