Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for contacting HCM. I'm Dr M Ali Rauf and will look into your problem.

There is possibility that during procedure some fluid has been digested and is causing these symptoms. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:
- acetaminophen thrice a day for 2 days.
- metoclopramide thrice a day for 2 days
- take 7up, add pinch of salt & few drops of lemon in it. It will also improve nausea.
- drotaverine thrice a day for 2 days.

Hopefully you will see improvement in 1-2 days BUT if condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital for further workup.


Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
