Introduction
Chronic gastritis can lead to insufficient gastric acid secretion or acid reflux, which irritates the mucous membranes of the esophagus and larynx, causing symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, and bitter taste. Inflammation and local irritation may also trigger responses in the nervous system, resulting in symptoms like sweating and skin itching. Treatment under a doctor's guidance may include medications such as Sanjiu Weitai Granules and Weilexin Capsules.
Bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, sweating, and skin itching may be related to factors such as chronic gastritis, contact dermatitis, and gastric ulcers. Treatment may include topical medications, oral medications, and other approaches. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Chronic Gastritis
Chronic gastritis can lead to insufficient gastric acid secretion or gastroesophageal reflux, which irritates the mucous membranes of the esophagus and throat, causing symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, and bitter taste. Inflammation and local irritation may also trigger nervous system responses, resulting in sweating and skin itching. Under medical guidance, medications such as Sanjiu Weitai Granules or Weilexin Capsules may be used for treatment.
2. Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis causes skin inflammation and itching, which may stimulate the nervous system and lead to abnormal nerve signaling, thereby causing symptoms such as bitter taste, dryness, sweating, and skin itching. Under medical guidance, treatments may include topical use of medications such as compound acetic acid dexamethasone cream or triamcinolone acetonide-imidazole nitrate cream.
3. Gastric Ulcer
If a person has a gastric ulcer, it may impair gastrointestinal absorption and digestion, potentially leading to malnutrition and resulting in symptoms such as bitter taste, dry mouth, sweating, and skin itching. Under medical supervision, medications such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules or rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets may be prescribed for treatment.
In addition to the above relatively common causes, these symptoms may also be associated with conditions such as cholecystitis, hepatitis, or gallstones. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital, undergo appropriate examinations, and follow medical advice for treatment.
