Patient's question:
I have a stomach ulcer. I have been drinking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate it, and it has been under control. However, recently, my dinner habits have become irregular again, which has led to a recurrence of the ulcer and severe acid reflux. What should I do about the acid reflux from the stomach ulcer?Doctor's answer:
Recurring gastric ulcer is more likely to lead to excessive stomach acid, as well as symptoms such as stomach bloating and pain. Your current symptoms should be promptly reviewed at the hospital to determine what bacteria is causing them. If Helicobacter pylori infection is detected, anti-inflammatory medication should be administered. Avoid spicy foods during this period to prevent worsening of clinical symptoms.
