Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Bloating And Acid Reflux

For the past 3 months I have had dry mouth/throat, white build up on tongue and roof of mouth (painless bumps on back of tongue), and veiny gums and back of throat (like its irritated). I also have a swollen throat gland on the right side of throat... Not sure if it s related, but I also have been experiencing short term memory issues, gas/bloating, and acid reflux.

Hello,

* The constellation of symptoms can be from various reasons as endocrine malfunction such as thyroid disturbances or exaggerated GERD or else.

* Primary guidelines for better recovery

- drink more liquids in sessions

- consume frequent meals of small quantities
- avoid spices, non-veg, junk foods, dairy fat
- control blood sugar, weight, cholesterol levels
- avoid smoking, alcohol if consuming
- manage sound sleep of 8 hours
- avoid stress and anxiety
- intake of omeprazole with sips of water morning and evening till symptomatic recovery

* Discuss need of upper GI endoscopy with your treating doc when you visit him or her in the next scheduled appointment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
