Superficial chronic gastritis is mainly treated through lifestyle modifications and medication. Lifestyle management primarily involves dietary adjustments: eating a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, preventing overeating, and maintaining regular meal times. In addition, medical treatment under a doctor's guidance is necessary, typically including acid-suppressing medications such as omeprazole or rabeprazole, along with mucosal protective agents that promote healing of the gastric lining, such as sucralfate or aluminum magnesium carbonate.
