What to do with superficial gastritis in children

1. Diet

It is advisable to choose easily digestible, non-irritating foods, and eat less cold drinks and condiments.

2. Clear Hp

Anti-Hp treatment should be given for gastritis caused by Hp, especially active gastritis. The drugs selected are: ① Potassium bismuth citrate (colloidal bismuth subcitrate, CBS). ②Antibiotics: amoxicillin (ampicillin), clarithromycin, metronidazole, furazolidone. ③Proton pump inhibitors: omeprazole. ④Combination therapy: The treatment plan can be selected from the above-mentioned drugs. Composition of dual or triple therapy: Bismuth-containing regimen: bismuth plus 1 or 2 antibiotics. Non-bismuth regimens: Proton pump inhibitor plus 1 or 2 antibiotics.

3. Gastrokinetic drugs

For those with abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting, gastrokinetic drugs such as domperidone (Metoclopramide) and cisapride are given.

4. H2 receptor blockers

Patients with high acidity or active gastritis can be given H2 receptor blockers: cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine.

5. Bile Reflux

Patients with bile reflux are given aluminum carbonate magnesium (Weidaxilin) ​​and ursodeoxycholic acid to bind with bile acids and promote bile emptying.

Prevention methods

1. Keep a cheerful spirit

Mental depression or excessive tension and fatigue can easily cause pyloric sphincter dysfunction, bile reflux and chronic gastritis.

2. Use with caution and avoid using drugs that damage the gastric mucosa

Long-term abuse of such drugs can damage the gastric mucosa, causing chronic gastritis and ulcers.

3. Actively treat oropharyngeal infection

Do not swallow sputum, nasal mucus and other bacteria-carrying secretions into the stomach, which may cause chronic gastritis.

4. Pay attention to your diet

Avoid irritating foods such as overly sour or spicy foods, as well as raw, cold, and indigestible foods. Chew slowly when eating so that the food can be fully mixed with saliva, which facilitates digestion and reduces stomach irritation. The diet should be regular, quantitative, and nutritious. Eat more foods rich in vitamins A, B, and C. Avoid taking stimulating drinks such as strong tea and strong coffee.
