Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having infection of the gastrointestinal tract.

You should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily along with an antiamoebic like Metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily.
A probiotic will have an added beneficial effect.
For severe pain, you can take Dicyclomine.

You should take light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
Also take care of your hydration.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
