Suspicion of acute gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to health care magic.

Based on the symptoms you have mentioned in your query, I am suspecting acute gastritis in your case.

In such cases, most common symptoms include nausea, abdominal pain and bloating, indigestion and loss of appetite.

I suggest the following to make you feel better:
1. Tab Pantop 40 mg twice daily half an hour before food for three days.
2. Tab Sporlac thrice daily after food for three days.
3. Avoid spicy food and alcohol for the next 2 weeks.
4. Fluid diet is recommended for the next three days.
5. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water per day.

Please follow the above and your pain and distress will definitely reduce within three days.

I hope I have helped you with this answer.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks.
