Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) is a gastrointestinal dyskinesia disorder caused by reflux of gastric contents. Its main symptoms include acid reflux, heartburn, flatulence, belching, etc. Pharmacological treatments, such as drugs to inhibit gastric acid, drugs to promote gastrointestinal motility, and mucous membrane protectants, are usually considered. If gastroesophageal reflux is particularly severe, surgical treatment should be considered.
1. Drugs to inhibit gastric acid: For the symptoms of acid reflux, drugs to inhibit gastric acid, such as omeprazole, rabeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, etc., can be applied under the guidance of professional doctors.
2. Drugs to promote gastrointestinal power: If the gastrointestinal power is insufficient, you can cooperate with the doctor to apply the drugs to promote gastrointestinal power, such as Mosapride, Itopride, etc., which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
3. Mucosal protector: in order to protect the esophagus and gastric mucosa, you can also use mucosal protector, such as aluminum thioglycollate, magnesium aluminum carbonate, etc., to reduce the damage of reflux on the esophagus and stomach.
4. Surgical treatment: If GERD causes severe esophagitis, esophageal ulcers, etc., leading to difficulty in swallowing, or causes pharyngolaryngitis, accompanied by pharyngeal discomfort, foreign body sensation, etc., surgical treatment can be considered.
If there are symptoms of GERD, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals as soon as possible for consultation and treatment, and standardize the medication according to the doctor’s instructions.
