To treat sore throats when you have chronic gastritis you should take medicines that are not irritating to the stomach and prescribed by your doctor.
The person with gastritis should avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid (AAS, Aspirin), diclofenacs (Voltaren), ketoprofen and ibuprofen, as well as steroids such as prednisone (Meticorten) that can cause pain, burning and distension abdominal pain to ulcers and bleeding. It is also important to know if the throat is only inflamed or if there is an infection caused by bacteria (tonsillitis), in which case the doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to treat it.
The general practitioner can advise which medicine is suitable for the treatment of inflamed sore throats in people with gastritis.
