Dear Niranjan,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to accumulation of gas secondary to increased acid production in the stomach.
Nexpro RD 40mg (pharmacologically Esomeprazole) prevent formation of excess acid in the stomach & provide symptomatic relief.
So, the medicine as prescribed by her treating Doctor is correct.
Please continue them as advised.
She can also take an antacid gel (to be taken after meals).

And it is also needed that she takes certain precautions regarding her diet & lifestyle, such as:
1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods
2. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration
3. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.
4. Keep away stress, think positive.
5. Exercise regularly & practice meditation.

Wishing her a good health.
Take care.
