Acute gastritis does not require special treatment in most cases. Symptomatic treatment is possible. Administration of preparations for vomiting or pain. But the body will deal with this form quickly. An example is faster recovery after upsetting the stomach contents if an inappropriate food or drink has been consumed.

Of course, diet is needed, but also peace from physical or mental stress. Pharmacological therapy should be prescribed by a physician. Clinical manifestations and severity of human health are also important in treatment. As well as the origin of the difficulties.

Drugs such as antacids, antisecretory therapies, H2 receptor blockers, or proton pump inhibitors are used. If the cause is intoxication with drugs or chemicals, it is necessary to eliminate further action of the substance. Antibiotics are also a source of infection. Specific treatment is for Helicobacter pylori infection.

Rehydration treatment is important for diarrhea and vomiting. So the replacement of lost fluids. Due to the risk of inducing vomiting, parenteral administration, i.e. by infusion, is chosen. This treatment prevents dehydration. Infectious inflammations are also treated with intestinal disinfectants. Surgical treatment is usually necessary for extensive bleeding into the abdomen and digestive tract.

The secondary medical school in Nitra gave me the basis for my career in the field of health and diseases. Thanks to it, I worked for 2 years in the traumatology clinic and outpatient clinic at the Nitra Hospital. Since 2006 I was employed in the emergency medical service, where I stayed until 2017. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra in the field of emergency health care. The bachelor's degree allowed me to continue my mission as a paramedic. In the meantime, I got a job at the emergency line 155. I have been working in pre-hospital health care until today. I had an interest in people, health and even diseases in my childhood, which gave me the prerequisite to pursue this topic in adulthood. Studying and acquiring new information in practice provided me with a great basis for writing professional texts, in the form of articles that can be understood by ordinary people. Thus, my interest in the Health Portal has a solid foundation in years of practice and personal interest. Similarly, I am also interested in healthy eating, nutrition and overall healthy lifestyle. I fill my free time with family and sports.
