Acute gastritis is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting, usually of stomach contents, and sometimes includes bile. It is also accompanied by significant abdominal pain. In such cases, it is imperative to administer antispasmodic analgesics and antiemetic medications promptly, as well as antibiotics sensitive to the gastrointestinal tract. If the vomiting is severe, it may lead to dehydration, necessitating timely rehydration or intravenous fluid therapy. It is important to maintain dietary hygiene, consume soft, easily digestible foods, and reduce the intake of raw, cold, and spicy foods. Meat should be thoroughly cooked before consumption. Engaging in moderate outdoor physical activities after meals can enhance gastrointestinal motility. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

How to recuperate after acute gastritis?

The management of acute gastritis primarily involves diet and regulation of personal emotions. Diet-wise, it's important to eat light foods and avoid spicy and greasy foods. Incorporate more fresh vegetables and fruits to increase dietary fiber. Additionally, adjusting personal emotions is crucial as there is a direct relationship between gastritis and emotional fluctuations. Therefore, maintaining physical and mental health, engaging in outdoor activities, and minimizing emotional ups and downs, while avoiding excessive anxiety, all play a positive role in the treatment and care of acute gastritis.

The causes of acute gastritis

Acute gastritis is one of the common upper gastrointestinal diseases. The condition tends to be severe and more serious than typical gastritis, usually presenting with symptoms such as sudden onset, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, acid reflux, and vomiting. The primary causes may include exposure to cold or food irritants, such as raw, spicy foods, or alcohol. Additionally, other factors can also lead to acute gastritis or acute gastric mucosal lesions, such as the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, or corticosteroid medications such as dexamethasone or prednisone. (Specific medication use should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

How to treat acute gastritis?

Acute gastritis is generally caused by drugs or stress, resulting in acute gastric mucosal injury. For treatment, proton pump inhibitors such as esomeprazole or pantoprazole can be used to suppress stomach acid. Alternatively, H2 receptor antagonists like cimetidine or famotidine can be used, but their effects are not as good as those of proton pump inhibitors. In addition to acid-suppressing medications, drugs that protect the gastric mucosa should also be used. Moreover, if there is damage to the gastric mucosa, treatments that promote the repair of the gastric mucosa, such as the recovery solution, should be applied. Diet should also be considered, ensuring it is light and regular. The cause should be clearly identified; if it is drug-induced, the drug should be discontinued, and if it is due to emotional stress, efforts should be made to soothe the emotions. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor)

What should I do about acute gastritis and stomach pain?

Stomach pain caused by acute gastritis is usually due to inflammation irritating the gastric mucosa. It can be managed with medications that suppress stomach acid secretion, protect the gastric mucosa, and relieve spasms and pain. Additionally, using a warm water bottle on the abdomen can help alleviate stomach pain. Regular care for the gastrointestinal tract is important, including eating soft, easily digestible foods and avoiding spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. Engaging in outdoor activities and maintaining overall physical and mental health can also benefit the stomach. It is advisable to avoid strong tea, coffee, and hard liquor, which can further irritate the stomach.
