Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, with a dull pain in my stomach sometimes accompanied by symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but it started again. How is moderate chronic superficial gastritis with erosion treated?Doctor's answer:
The current situation is actually chronic gastritis accompanied by the harm to the gastric serosa. In this case, it is important to pay attention to dietary habits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and try to maintain regular eating patterns. It may be helpful to eat smaller meals more frequently and consider oral medications such as aluminum hydroxide magnesium and omeprazole for adjustment. Generally, after adjustment, there should be significant improvement. If there is no improvement, further tests such as the breath test can be conducted to rule out Helicobacter pylori infection.
