As an analgesic of non-narcotic effect, Paracetamol has a mild antipyretic effect and relieves pain syndrome. It should be noted that it is used as a factor that reduces the severity of a certain symptom( temperature, pain), and not for the treatment of a disease. It is mainly used for pain of small and medium intensity, as well as for infectious and inflammatory diseases accompanied by fever.
Presenting an inflammation of the gastric mucosa, gastritis, like any other inflammatory process, can often be accompanied by an increase in body temperature. With the development of acute gastritis, provoked by food poisoning, the presence of pathogenic microflora in the gastric mucosa or the formation of ulcers on the walls of the stomach, the body temperature can rise very significantly, up to the development of a febrile state.
As for chronic gastritis, the disease, as a rule, is not accompanied by an increase in temperature. Therefore, if chronic gastritis is aggravated for reasons of:
- of malnutrition;
- with alcohol abuse;
- stress states;
- contact with irritant mucous agents, then a rise in temperature with gastritis may indicate the development of other diseases.
The specific cause of the increase in temperature may be established only after a comprehensive examination. When considering the use of paracetamol for gastritis to reduce temperature and eliminate pain, it should be noted that it affects the gastric mucosa negatively.
In addition, paracetamol, used in large doses, leads to a disruption of the liver. However, given the fact that the drug has a slight anti-inflammatory effect, Paracetamol can be used in gastritis accompanied by a rise in temperature, as a short-term means to reduce the intensity of painful manifestations.
Paracetamol is effective in hyperacid gastritis, accompanied by severe pain in the stomach. This type of inflammation of the mucosa is characterized by an increased acid content by a significant increase in temperature in acute course, and Paracetamol, with its mild analgesic and antipyretic effect, is very useful in this case. In the future, treatment should be carried out only in accordance with medical recommendations, as uncontrolled use of the drug may lead to serious health problems.
