What to do if you feel uncomfortable after a gastroscopy

The discomfort after gastroscopy can be dealt with in the following ways: First, rest quietly or sit still for two hours after gastroscopy, do not eat any food or water. If there is still discomfort after two hours, you need to check whether the test tube or the stomach mucosa is damaged. If the throat or esophagus is damaged, you can drink warm water in a place with clean air, do not speak loudly, or take nebulized inhalation or antibiotics in appropriate amounts to treat the problem; if the stomach mucosa is damaged, you can take proton pump inhibitors to protect the gastric mucosa and repair the damaged area. Third, pay attention to eating liquid or semi-liquid things, such as soup porridge and other soft, easily digestible food, do not eat spicy, stimulating, greasy food, tobacco and alcohol, as well as milk, soy products, etc.. Fourth, maintain emotional stability to prevent bleeding, gastric distension, perforation and other postoperative adverse symptoms in the stomach.
