What Is Gastritis?
10. Treatment
How gastritis is treated will depend largely on the underlying cause of the condition, and how severe the symptoms are. In most cases, it will involve the use of antibiotics to kill bacteria, which will usually be H. pylori. The patient may also be requested to stop using certain medications and also to stop drinking, or to at least limit their consumption.
Treatment will also sometimes involve using medication that can help to reduce how much acid is being produced. Antacids are also sometimes used to help relieve the patient of their symptoms, but these only help in the short term.
