Patient's question:
That's right, a few nights ago my husband suddenly fell asleep and then experienced severe abdominal pain. I gave him a dose of ibuprofen. The third night, the pain returned, so we rushed to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed it as erythema and exudative gastritis. Is this condition serious?Doctor's answer:
Erythema exudative gastritis is only one type of inflammation in chronic gastritis, not very serious, but it tends to recur frequently. Moreover, when this chronic gastric disease causes pain, it is not advisable to take ibuprofen to promote blood circulation (it may further alleviate the condition). Patients should take proton pump inhibitors, gastric mucosal protectants, and anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Control your diet, avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods, and do not smoke or drink alcohol.
