Symptoms of pain in the middle of the chest when drinking water need to be checked for gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux. If the painful symptoms are caused by irritation of the gastroesophageal mucosa when drinking water, they can be clarified by gastroscopy. If serious problems appear, they can be treated by using esomeprazole to suppress acid, and at the same time, drugs such as aluminum thioglycollate to protect the gastric mucosa can be used. If H. pylori infection is found, anti-infective drugs such as clarithromycin or amoxicillin are also needed. Pay attention to regular diet, avoid spicy, cold and stimulating food, and do not drink coffee, red wine and other stimulating beverages.
