Question
What are the main symptoms and treatment methods for acute gastritis in children?
Answer
The main symptoms of acute gastritis in children include upper abdominal pain, nausea, and dry heaves. Treatment can involve proton pump inhibitors, and if there is a bacterial infection, appropriate antibiotics may also be used. It’s important to pay attention to the child’s dietary hygiene, avoiding overeating and consuming excessive amounts of irritating food. During the illness, it’s recommended to provide light, easy-to-digest liquid or semi-liquid foods.
