Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
The treatment of chronic superficial gastritis mainly includes:
1. Etiological treatment: Firstly, avoid and remove the causes, such as quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol, refraining from taking medications that irritate the stomach, and treating possible chronic infections.
2. Dietary therapy: Patients should maintain a light, regular, and timely diet with controlled portions, avoiding overly acidic, spicy, raw, cold, or coarse foods.
3. Medication therapy: Medications that protect the gastric mucosa, such as sucralfate and Maltferin-S granules, can be taken, along with medications that eliminate factors damaging the gastric mucosa, such as drugs for controlling Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection.
4. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment: Massage and acupuncture also demonstrate good efficacy in treating chronic superficial gastritis.
