Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Developed a cough and runny nose three days ago. I woke up I felt uneasy in my stomach the last day. For half of the day, my stool was normal, and for the other half, I developed a burning sensation on both sides of my stomach above the belly button, had no appetite for food, and constipation. Also, I have anxiety so my heart was racing and caused pain in my left arm and shoulder. I have not been able to sleep for almost 24 hours now and I am getting annoyed more than worried. I just want to sleep.

Please help.

Hello doctor,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I understand your concern.

I am very sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry, I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, I believe you have developed an upper respiratory tract infection with generalized anxiety disorder. Please take the following:

  • 1 Tablet Escitalopram (anti-depressant) 10 mg orally, once a day for one week.

  • 2 Tablet Acetaminophen (analgesic) 500 mg orally, thrice a day for five days.

  • 2 Tab Vitamin C 1000 mg orally, twice a day for 1 week.

  • 2 Tab Metronidazole (antibiotic) 400 mg orally, thrice a day a week.

  • 1 Capsule Co-Amoxiclav (amoxicillin and clavulanic acid) 625 mg orally, twice a day for 14 days.

If your symptoms persist, schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

I hope this helps.

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
