Patient's question:
I recently felt uncomfortable in my stomach and often had heartburn. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I had superficial gastritis. He prescribed some medication and advised me to take good care of my body in daily life. But how should I take care of my body with superficial gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from superficial gastritis, medication is one aspect, but it is important to take it regularly according to the prescribed course. The main focus should be on daily regulation. It is recommended to maintain a regular diet, eat small meals frequently, and avoid overeating. Avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods, as well as medications that are harmful to the gastric mucosa. In particular, avoid stimulants such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, and strong tea. Pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm and avoid catching a cold.
