Patient's question:
I went to the hospital today for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have a bit of gastritis. This illness has been tormenting me for a very long time. I want to know what effective ways there are to treat it. I'm really suffering so much every day!Doctor's answer:
Viral gastroenteritis usually does not require pathogenic treatment and can resolve on its own. According to the results of bacterial drug sensitivity tests, bacterial gastroenteritis is best treated with antibiotics. The symptomatic treatment for chronic gastroenteritis is the administration of digestive fluids, correction of electrolyte imbalances and acidosis. The majority of chronic superficial gastritis can reverse, while a very small number can develop into chronic atrophic gastritis. Chronic atrophic gastritis tends to worsen with age, but mild symptoms can also reverse. Therefore, the treatment for chronic gastritis should begin as soon as possible from the stage of chronic superficial gastritis and should persist in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis. Remove all potential sepsis-causing factors, such as preventing the consumption of foods and medications that strongly affect the gastric mucosa, quitting smoking, and avoiding alcohol.
