Suggest Treatment For Cough, Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea While On Nexium
Started about four weeks ago, unproductive cough and sinus pressure. I have a history of sinus infections. Went to Dr and he put me on an antibiotic for 10 days. The cough continued however. The Dr placed me on an additional 40 mg of Nexium, I take 40 mg daily for acid re-flux and Barrett s esophagus. I have been taking double dose for ~10 days. Tuesday morning I was awakened by sharp abdominal pain and acute gas. Went to bathroom and had diarrhea. Stomach cramps and gas have persisted since. Diarrhea lasted until late Wednesday. i was unable to eat anything Tuesday, and ate dry toast Wednesday. My stool on Wednesday was solid black. I was able to eat dry toast, chicken noodle soup and a banana Friday. No bowel movement from late Wed thru Saturday morning. Saturday morning I had a soft stool, but still black. I did eat a regular breakfast and dinner today. I feel very bloated and have acute gas.
There is gastritis with flatulence. Start taking metronidazole followed by tablet Uni enzyme since there is black stool it is called malina. Bleeding from colonic area. Now as you have started taking normal food. Take tablet uni enzyme and an antacid like Omeprazole. With this medication you will improve. You are feeling bloated since there is indigestion and dyspepsia. Take these two medicine which I have prescribed till malina stop.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash, Ophthalmologist
