To alleviate the symptoms associated with gastritis, you can use over-the-counter drugs available in the pharmacy that inhibit the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, e.g. with pantoprazole, omeprazole or famotidine or antacids in the form of lozenges or drinking milk based on aluminum, magnesium and calcium ions. As an auxiliary, you can also reach for herbal remedies, such as flaxseed or chamomile infusion. If the ailment is acute, accompanied by severe abdominal pain and vomiting, you should seek medical advice.
