Hello doctor,
Recently, I have symptoms of nausea, belching continuously. After 3 days, the child's nausea subsided but he still lost his appetite. I went to the doctor and had an endoscopy at the hospital with mild antral inflammation and esophagitis. The doctor prescribes medicine and gives a more reasonable diet. In my case, I'm at work, so I think a bit too much and need to use coffee 2-3 times a week to be more awake. I would like to ask the doctor if in my case, does coffee affect gastritis?
