Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
I am H pylori negative. I have consulted a gastroenterologist. I was diagnosed with antral erythema. He gave medicine for 15 days, but he was still not cured completely. Shall I take any other medicine?
Kindly advise.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It takes time to heal, around three months.
You should take,
Tablet Pantocid 40 (pantoprazole) milligrams twice a day for one month, then once daily for the next two months.
Syrup Sucralfate, three tablespoons full thrice a day for three months.
There should be an improvement in four weeks. Otherwise should get a repeat upper gastrointestinal endoscopy done. If there is an improvement in symptoms, you should repeat the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after three months.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
