Hello doctor! I have had stomach pain for over a year now. I had an endoscopy a few months ago and was diagnosed by a doctor as mild antral mucosal congestion. I treated for a month, after taking all the medicine, I felt much better. But about 2 weeks later, the recurrence was very uncomfortable, so I switched to taking turmeric and honey, so far it has been 3 months.
When I drink turmeric and honey, I also see a significant reduction in symptoms. But from time to time I still feel burning and belching. So the doctor asked me, should I treat mild antral mucosal conjunctivitis with western medicine or take turmeric in combination with honey? Because according to my research, taking too much western medicine will not be good for health. Seek medical advice. I would like to thank the doctor.

Hi grandchild!
The doctor would like to answer the question: "Should I treat mild antral mucosal conjunctivitis with western medicine or take turmeric in combination with honey?" For anyone, or any disease, taking medicine for a long time is not beneficial, except for the mandatory cases such as blood pressure medicine, urine, endocrine..
For stomach diseases I'm having a problem, long-term treatment with turmeric and honey is not the best treatment. The doctor advised him to return to the doctor for a check-up and a more appropriate treatment plan. Helps minimize long-term drug use.
In addition, gastritis has many causes, but most often it is caused by the following groups of causes:
Due to eating and living: Please review whether you have eaten scientifically, eating right meals, do not use hot and spicy substances, alcohol, tobacco, do not eat too full, take a reasonable break... Due to stress: Psychological trauma, stress at work and life .. increase secrete gastric acid causing gastritis. Due to drugs and chemicals: Some people have to take long-term drugs such as pain relievers, cardiovascular diseases.. may also cause increased acid secretion, which damages the stomach. Due to bacterial infections, parasites..especially H.Pylori bacteria cause chronic gastritis... Therefore, you need to clarify what causes can lead to stomach pain in you, instead change it first then take the medicine.
