Patient's question:
Daughter started experiencing stomach pain as soon as she went to bed today and it feels quite severe, so she immediately came to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor diagnosed her with acute gastritis and prescribed some medication, then advised us to go home and rest. Seeing her in so much pain, I really don't know how long it will take for her to recover from acute gastritis in children. I feel so helpless.Doctor's answer:
For children with acute gastritis, the disease is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections, with a treatment duration of about 7 days. During this period, a light and easily digestible diet is recommended, such as porridge or boiled noodles. Proton pump inhibitors can be used to reduce stomach acid and aluminum agents to protect the gastric mucosa. When pain is severe, 6542 can be added to alleviate the pain. If there is a bacterial infection, antibiotics should also be used for anti-infection.
