Patient's question:
Mother suffers from chronic gastritis and enteritis, and recently she often experiences chest tightness and has difficulty eating. However, this situation has never occurred again before. She has taken many medications, but they haven't been effective. She wants to consult a doctor to find out what to do.Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the recent lack of appetite should be caused by chronic gastroenteritis. If the condition is severe, medication to protect the gastric mucosa and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment. Through treatment, it should gradually recover health. Additionally, attention should be paid to diet, eating small meals frequently, and avoiding overeating. Avoid cold, spicy, and overly greasy foods, such as chili peppers and ginger. Instead, consume more easily digestible and water-rich foods like porridge, noodles, etc. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. If symptoms such as abdominal pain or poor digestion occur, medication to aid digestion can be taken. Avoid overworking and staying up late, and engage in more adequate exercise.
