Western medicine for treating chronic gastritis

Chronic gastritis is a common type of gastritis with a relatively high incidence rate. It is difficult to treat and requires long-term treatment. In terms of treatment, medication is a relatively common method. For patients, the key is to prescribe the right medicine for the disease. The treatment drugs for chronic gastritis are mainly some gastric mucosal protectors, or drugs that promote gastric motility, and some drugs that kill Helicobacter pylori. These are relatively common drugs for the treatment of chronic gastritis.

Western medicine for treating chronic gastritis

Nowadays, there are many drugs used to treat chronic gastritis, mainly gastric mucosal protectants, acid inhibitors, gastric motility drugs and drugs that kill Helicobacter pylori. Patients should choose different drugs according to the cause of the disease. For example, patients with bile reflux gastritis should choose gastric mucosal protectants; patients with symptoms such as acid reflux and heartburn should choose acid suppressants; if there is upper abdominal distension and belching, it is due to insufficient motility, and gastrokinetic drugs such as metoclopramide can be used.

Experts at the Gastritis Treatment Network emphasize that when treating stomach problems, “three parts are treatment, and seven parts are care.” Among them, adjusting eating habits has a significant impact on the treatment of chronic gastritis. Patients with chronic gastritis should pay attention to their daily diet and health care, and focus on exercise and rest, and adjust their mental state. Live a regular life, eat regular meals, stay away from tobacco and alcohol, keep a good mood, and don't have too much mental stress. Generally speaking, if you can do the above, curing diseases will no longer be a big task.

Treatment and medication for acute gastritis 1. Eliminate the cause, rest in bed, and stop all diets and medications that irritate the stomach. If appropriate, short-term fasting should be implemented, and then an easily digestible, light, low-residue liquid diet should be given to help the stomach rest and the injury heal. 2. Pain relief. Belladonna tablets, atropine, 654-2 and other drugs can be used. You can also apply local hot compress to the abdomen to relieve pain (not necessary for those with gastric bleeding). 3. Encourage drinking water. Since patients lose too much water due to vomiting and diarrhea, they should drink more water as much as possible to replenish the lost water. It is better to use sugar and salt water (made by adding a small amount of sugar and salt to boiled water). Do not drink beverages high in sugar to avoid excessive acid production and aggravate abdominal pain. Patients with frequent vomiting can drink a small amount of water (about 50 ml) after each vomiting, and drink it multiple times to avoid vomiting. 4. Patients with diarrhea and fever can appropriately use antibacterial drugs such as berberine and norfloxacin. It is generally not used by patients with mild conditions to avoid further irritation to the stomach. 5. If the vomiting and diarrhea are severe and the dehydration is obvious, the patient should be sent to the hospital for intravenous infusion treatment in time. Generally, the patient will recover quickly within 1-2 days. 6. Prevention is the priority. Drink in moderation, avoid overeating, and use with caution or not use drugs that may damage the gastric mucosa. Acute simple gastritis must be treated promptly and recurrence must be prevented after recovery to prevent it from turning into chronic gastritis and becoming unrecoverable. The treatment of gastritis is actually a simple matter, but remember not to take it lightly, because once the pain starts, it can be excruciating, so you should pay more attention to your stomach health and strive for early diagnosis and early treatment!
