It depends on the specific circumstances. Symptoms of acute gastritis generally resolve within 3 to 5 days. Acute gastritis is mainly caused by dietary factors, such as overeating, consuming greasy, fried, barbecued, or raw cold fruits, all of which can irritate the gastric mucosa and lead to bloating, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. With proper medication, recovery can be rapid. For indigestion, medications that aid digestion and regulate the spleen and stomach may be taken. If an inflammatory infection occurs, appropriate antibiotics may be used.
