Patient's question:
The other day, I experienced acid reflux with two to three episodes of heartburn. I often burp, sometimes accompanied by gas, and after meals, I have a bit of food reflux along with burping. The hospital examination revealed chronic non-atrophic fundic gastritis. Is this condition serious?Doctor's answer:
Taking antibacterial medication can indeed cause many uncomfortable feelings. Whether to stop the medication depends on the specific situation, as stopping it may lead to bacterial resistance, making it harder to eliminate them next time. However, nausea and vomiting are also uncomfortable. There are two ways to handle this. First, you can contact the doctor who prescribed the medication and ask for their advice. Second, you can monitor your bowel movements. If you have fewer than three bowel movements and experience symptoms like dizziness or fatigue again, you may have to stop the medication.
