Hello doctor!
I am 25 years old this year, currently working in Japan. Three months ago, I had an endoscopy at the hospital and was diagnosed with grade A Gred reflux, esophageal ulcer. After 3 months of taking the doctor's medicine, the condition did not improve, even worse. Before, it was just belching and bloating, but now I feel more pain. For the past 5 days, my saliva has always been bloody. When I went to the hospital, the doctor just asked and didn't re-examine and gave me the same medicine as before, saying it's okay. So the doctor asked me what to do with gastroesophageal reflux, esophageal ulcer, bloody saliva? Thank you doctor!
