hi, if you are suffering from chronic gastritis then first of all you should go for urease test for helicobacter pylori infection which is the most common cause in chronic cases and it need to be eraicated , for that you can take omeprazole,amoxycillin and clarithromycin.you should go for hematocrit estimation as chronic gastritis may lead to malabsorption of vitamins required for blood formation.
dont take large meal , greasy foods, pickles, alcohol, hot everages and spicy foods. avoid drugs like salicylates, steroids indomethacin and also tobacco and its proucts.
you can take mucaine gel 2 tsp thrice daily.
it is very important to follow up chronic gastritis as it has several complication in long term so you should consult a gastroentrologist for this porpose.
thanks and with regard.
