What medicine to take for acute gastritis

Gastric disease is a common minor problem in our daily life. Although it is a minor problem, if there is a problem with the stomach, then a series of discomforts will follow, such as vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating and other symptoms. There is also a saying that stomach pain is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens. We must not ignore stomach diseases. If these minor diseases are not taken seriously and not treated in time, then a series of uncomfortable symptoms will be waiting for us. The most common stomach disease is acute gastritis, which is usually caused by unclean and improper diet, so we must pay attention to our diet.

The specific medicine for acute gastritis should be determined according to the patient's specific situation. For example, those with mild dehydration and mild vomiting can take oral rehydration. The recommended oral solution formula is sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, glucose or sucrose, and water. For patients with severe dehydration or vomiting, normal saline, isotonic sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride solutions, and glucose can be given intravenously. Drugs that reduce intestinal motility and secretion can be used in small amounts of atropine, belladonna, and propantheline to reduce intestinal motility, relieve pain, and stop diarrhea. Chlorpromazine can also be used. It has a sedative effect and can inhibit excessive secretion of intestinal mucosa caused by enterotoxins, thereby reducing the frequency and amount of bowel movements. The latest scientific research result, EGF step-wise immune recombinant therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment without trauma. In the treatment of enteritis, it can provide targeted spot-on therapy to the lesion site, rebuild a strong immune bacterial film barrier, and improve overall immunity. It is more effective for patients who have developed drug resistance and hormone dependence.

Patients should be reminded that any drug has its own indications. It cannot treat all types of diseases and achieve good results. If it is not used properly (such as when it is the opposite of one's own condition), the effect will be counterproductive. There are also the following three categories:

Category I drugs: agents that regulate dysbacteriosis. Common drugs of this type include Bifi-Con, Zhengchangsheng, Mommy Care, etc. These drugs can be taken to relieve diarrhea symptoms in cases of acute gastroenteritis and chronic diarrhea, and the side effects of these drugs are relatively small.

The second category of medicine: Smecta. This is an antidiarrheal agent that can form a mucous layer to protect the gastrointestinal tract after entering the human body, thereby relieving vomiting symptoms. This drug is extracted from natural minerals, so it is safer and is also used for children with acute gastroenteritis.

The third category of drugs: floxacin drugs. This type of drugs mainly includes norfloxacin capsules, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, etc. However, before using this type of medicine, you need to read the instructions first and take it according to the instructions, or take it according to the doctor's instructions, and avoid overdose.

Category IV medicine: berberine hydrochloride tablets. This drug is also known as "berberine" and is moderately priced. It is particularly used in cases of intestinal infections caused by Escherichia coli or Shigella dysenteriae. Take 0.3 to 0.4 grams each time, 2 to 3 times a day. Therefore, you need to be cautious when taking medication and don’t rush to seek medical treatment.

1. Avoid irregular diet: In principle, the diet for gastritis should be light and have little irritation to the gastric mucosa, but a light diet does not necessarily relieve the patient's symptoms. The principle should be to follow a regular diet, avoid being too hungry or too full, and eat small meals frequently. Especially for the elderly and weak, or those with diminished gastrointestinal function, it is best to have 4 to 5 meals a day, and eat until 60% to 70% full each time. Pay attention to the ratio of sugar, fat and protein in food, and pay attention to the content of essential nutrients for the body such as vitamins.

2. Avoid smoking, drinking, and spicy food: Ethanol can dissolve the lipoprotein layer of the gastric mucosal epithelium, which can cause great damage to the gastric mucosa. When people smoke, the harmful substances in the smoke dissolve and adhere to the mouth and throat and enter the stomach with swallowing. These harmful substances can also cause great damage to the gastric mucosa. Therefore, patients with acute and chronic gastritis must quit smoking and drinking to avoid aggravating the condition or even causing malignant changes. Foods or beverages such as chili, mustard, pepper, strong tea, coffee, cocoa, etc. are irritating to the gastric mucosa, can cause congestion of the mucosa, and aggravate inflammation, so they should also be avoided.

3. Avoid eating too cold, hot or hard food: Eating too cold food and drinks can cause stomach cramps and contraction of blood vessels in the gastric mucosa, which is not conducive to the disappearance of inflammation; eating too hot food and drinks can directly burn or irritate the gastric mucosa. The food for gastritis patients should be of moderate hardness and softness. Too hard and rough food, crude fiber vegetables, fried or grilled food can increase the mechanical digestive burden of the stomach, cause friction and damage to the gastric mucosa, and aggravate the inflammatory lesions of the mucosa.
