Brief answer...Need not worry
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
There is nothing to worry as things would settle soon.
Outside street food has resulted in gastritis ( inflammation of inside lining of stomach ) and this inflammation takes 7-10 days to heal completely and sometimes may take 2 -3 weeks also.
Keep taking pantodac twice a day for 2 weeks 1/2 hour before meals.
Resume DOMSTAL and take it for another 4-5 days.
Avoid spicy foods and take soft diet with plenty of liquids.
You shall be all right in next few days.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
