Chronic gastritis in children is not uncommon and has a variety of causes
Chronic gastritis occurs mostly in adults, but in recent years, chronic gastritis has been found in pediatric outpatient clinics, and there is a trend of increasing year by year, and preschool children aged 3 to 6 years are more common.
Sinusitis is more common in chronic gastritis in children, and atrophic gastritis is rare. The foci of antrumatitis are mainly in the antrums, and the cause is related to the invasion of Helicobacter pylori, and it can be said that it is the "culprit" that forms angiosciitis.

There are other triggers for the formation of chronic gastritis in children, such as gluttony and cold drinks, diet without rhythm, picky eating, and love to eat fried foods. Due to poor dietary habits and long-term uncontrolled eating, the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin increases, causing gastric mucosal edema and erosion, and excessive cold drinking causes the gastric submucosal vasoconstriction and mucosal layer thinning, forming chronic gastritis.
What are the characteristics of chronic gastritis in children
Children often complain of pain in the upper abdomen, mostly vague pain, but may also be tingling or sharp pain, often after eating, can also occur before starvation, there is no certain regularity.
Young children often complain of an inaccurate area of abdominal pain, some of which are indicated by crying, the main symptoms are anorexia and vomiting, and some do not have any digestive tract symptoms, but manifest as anemia, black feces and emaciation.

The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine has a good effect in the treatment of chronic gastritis
In recent years, Western medicine has achieved certain efficacy in the treatment of gastritis with rabeprazole, cimetidine or losec, and amoxicillin, metronidazole, levofloxacin or clarithromycin to reduce gastric acid, because levofloxacin has a certain effect on cartilage and is not used in childhood.
Sucralfate or colloidal bismuth citrate, which strengthens mucosal defenses, is also commonly used. In order to reduce nausea and vomiting, morphine is added, but there are still some children with insufficient efficacy and need to use integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy.

For example, adults chew food to feed children; a family eats, you chopsticks he a spoon, add vegetables to the baby's bowl; a bottle of drink, adults drink to the mouth, the child continues to drink, etc., Helicobacter pylori can be transmitted to the new owner through saliva. So it is best to share food at home or use public chopsticks.
