Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your pain is associated with eating, possibility of acute gastritis and hyperacidity is more.
So better to avoid hot and spicy food.
Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Avoid stress and tension. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach.
You will mostly improve with all these in 5 days.
If not improving then get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out internal cause for your pain.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
