Can I take anti-inflammatory drugs if I have had gastric perforation?

Anti-inflammatory drugs belong to a type of antibiotics. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs can help our body effectively kill harmful viruses and help the body recover quickly from inflammation. But for those who have undergone internal surgery before or have wounds in the body such as gastric perforation, will anti-inflammatory drugs act on them and cause the wound to expand? Let us explain this issue in detail today.

Gastric perforation measures

1. Do not roll around with your hands on your stomach, or stagger around due to unbearable pain. Go to bed immediately or lie flat on the ground on your left side. The reason is that the perforation site is mostly located on the right side of the stomach. Lying on the left side can effectively prevent stomach acid and food from flowing further into the abdominal cavity and aggravating the condition.

2. If medical staff cannot arrive in time, but there are some simple medical equipment on site, you can insert a gastric tube yourself. Specific method: Insert the gastric tube into the nostrils to the throat, exhale and swallow hard to swallow the gastric tube into the stomach. Then use a syringe to draw out the contents of the stomach, which can reduce the degree of infection in the abdominal cavity and buy the patient time for treatment.

Precautions

1. Supplement more vitamin C. Vitamin C has a certain protective effect on the gastric mucosa.

2. Drugs: Aspirin, indomethacin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hormone drugs, etc. have a strong irritating and corrosive effect on the gastrointestinal tract and should be used with caution by patients with gastric ulcers. If it must be used, drugs to protect the gastric mucosa and acid-suppressing drugs should be added.

3. Quit smoking and drinking: Smoking and drinking large amounts of liquor can easily cause gastrointestinal mucosal vasospasm and ischemia.

4. Reasonable diet: Eat less fried, pickled, raw, cold and irritating food, especially the edges and corners of hard food can damage the gastrointestinal wall that has already ulcerated, and directly lead to gastric perforation. In addition, you should avoid overeating. When eating, you should chew slowly to reduce stomach pressure and speed up digestion. Avoid eating large amounts after being hungry for a long time, as this can easily lead to gastric perforation.

5. Excessive fatigue and cold stimulation can aggravate gastric wall vascular spasm and become the cause of ulcer perforation, so you should take precautions.
