Question
The symptoms of stomach heat, excess stomach acid, and burping have been persistent for some time. Stool is normal, and there has been no change in weight. What are the possible causes and treatment recommendations?
Answer
Based on the patient’s symptoms, it may be gastritis or a gastric ulcer. It is recommended to undergo a gastroscopy or barium meal examination to determine the cause and provide a systematic medication treatment plan, including omeprazole, metoclopramide, sucralfate, pancreatin tablets, ampicillin, and metronidazole, to be taken continuously for one month and then re-evaluated to achieve therapeutic effects. At the same time, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods and pay attention to dietary habits.
