Brief Answer: continue medications for extended time Detailed Answer: Hello, I have read your query. The burning sensation in your stomach is due to gastritis. You need to continue the medicine pantocid for a week more or until the time your symptoms disappear. I would suggest you to take Capsule Pantocid 40mg once daily on empty stomach for a week more. Meanwhile, avoid spicy and high fatty food. Take yoghurt, butter milk, and tender coconut water daily. Get well soon.
