My 9yr old daughter is suffering from acute gastritis. Which was identified in an ultrasound test while feeling abdominal pain. The ultrasound report has an impression as described below:

"Mildly tender epigastrium, prominent gastric mucosal fold, mild colonic air ditension."

Gastritis is caused by an inflammation of the stomach lining, unlike an ulcer, this usually involves very large areas of the stomach and the pain involved can be quite severe.

What have the doctors advised?

Usually, some type of medication for pain must be given for a short period of time, while some type of antacid is given for about 12 weeks, to help the stomach to heal.

I suffered severe pain for many years, before a doctor finally discovered that it was Gastritis and the medication that worked best for me was Famotidine, commonly sold under the brand name Pepcid.

I've been suffering from acute gastritis for a week while I've been on phenytoin sodium & zonisamide to control seizures for years. I would like to know whether taking pantoprazole for 4-6 weeks is a safe way to control acidity?
