Question
My mother has stomach pain. The endoscopy showed she has superficial gastritis (simple) and gastritis. The doctor said this stomach condition is not serious and can be treated with medication. However, after taking the medication for three weeks, there has been no effect. The pain is very uncomfortable, it extends to the shoulder area, and she keeps belching. What are the symptoms of gastritis?
Answer
The symptoms of gastritis may include stomach pain, shoulder pain, and belching. During an attack of pain, patients may feel as if they are carrying a heavy burden on their shoulders. Chronic gastritis that does not heal may lead to problems such as esophageal relaxation and esophageal dysmotility, and may also cause complications such as reflux esophagitis and esophageal ulcers. In terms of treatment, it is important to avoid the excessive use of antibiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used in conjunction with good lifestyle adjustments and a healthy mental state to achieve healing results.
