Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, I am hopeful that your symptoms will improve with these medications, but it can recur if you stop the lifestyle changes, which I told you. Please avoid spicy foods for a few weeks.

For constipation, take syrup Cremafin 10 ml (antacid) daily at night time. You can decrease or increase its dose depending upon the consistency of your stool.
