Suggest Treatment For Stomach Infection And Acidity
Hi. I am 39 Yrs. Male, 80 Kg from Mumbai and into sales and marketing profession. I have been eating outside for almost last 2 weeks and this will continue for another two weeks due to professional requirements. I have had acidity for about a week now and a lot of gas, with no hunger. There is a dull pain in the stomach generally in the left about 4 inches below the rib cage and close to the navel. Sometimes it becomes a biting pain in the other parts of the stomach also. Over yesterday and today the gas is smelling bad and I have had something like loose motion, only 3 times from yesterday night till today morning. I do not feel hungry, no vomiting sensation but the feel something stuck in my throat most of the time. No fever, but there is weakness. Last two days I have taken Omniprozole D one capsule each at night and morning. Today morning I have taken a Metrogyl 400 mg tablet anticipating more loose motions. I am due to travel extensively for the next 5 days. Please advise.
Here your condition is because of eating only outside food since two week.... You could have gastritis like condition by excess pungent food.... Gastroenteritis can be there as diarrhea present....
Along with metrogyl also take ofloxacin tablet ...Both for 5 days....To cover wide range of possible bacterial pathogen...
Maintain hydration with lots of fluid and water.... Your weakness is because of dehydration and lost electrolyte... ORS taken with water.... Fruit juice taken more....you can take fruits where you are residing outside ...
Irritant like smoking , excess spicy food , alcohol , excess tea try to avoid....
If still diarrhea continue investigation with stool examination and USG done for further work up.
Avoid stress....
Take care.
