The treatment of duodenal bulb inflammation mainly includes: 1. Pharmacological treatment: Use acid-suppressing medications such as omeprazole and cimetidine to effectively improve the acidic environment in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce gastric acid secretion. Meanwhile, mucosal protective agents such as aluminum-containing preparations and colloidal bismuth pectin can be used to protect the gastric mucosa and prevent ulcer formation. If Helicobacter pylori infection is present, quadruple therapy including proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics may be administered. 2. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment: According to TCM theory, prescriptions such as Sini San and modified Sini San may be used, along with TCM interventions such as acupuncture. 3. General treatment: Pay attention to dietary habits, avoid consuming irritant foods, quit smoking and abstain from alcohol, reduce intake of starchy foods, and maintain dietary hygiene.
