Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe discomfort in upper abdominal area. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like excess stomach acid or acute gastritis, gastroenteritis,gastric ulcer or Helicobacter pylori infection or food allergy. I would suggest you to consult gastroenetrologist . Doctor may order ultrasound , stool test and take histroy . Doctor may prescribe antacids like h2 blockers (ranitidine) or proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole or rabeprazole) will help to reduce excess acid production in stomach along with digene gel or liquid or ulcero-protective agents like sucralfate or bismuth subsallicylate to reduce the burning sensation. For now eat plain foods like boiled rice and green leafy vegetables without adding spices and avoid oily,spicy and fast foods .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
