Patient's Query

Dear Doctor,

One week ago, I suddenly started suffering from severe acidity for 2 days. It was accompanied by mild fever and extreme fatigue (only 2 days). I consulted a doctor and he prescribed Pantodac for the stomach issue, and other pills for the fever, which got cured.

But my stomach is still bad (over 7 days now), though I have been careful with my diet. No vomiting or any such sensations. Now there is no acidity pain as well.

The only problem is that my stomach keeps rumbling throughout the day and there is a lot of foul smelling gas. It goes on all day long, the medicine seemed to have a very little effect.

Is there something to be worried about? Could it just be due to the heat? How long does this (gas only) usually last?

Answered by Dr. Suneetha B S

Hi,

The medicines will only have effect as long as you take them. The main mode of treatment in cases like yours would be lifestyle changes.

Please reduce intake of gas forming foods like potato and pulses like chickpea. Also do few simple changes in your food, sleep and activity as follows:

  • Avoid spicy foods.
  • Eat food cooked at home and try to avoid fast foods.
  • Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol.
  • Indulge yourself in any kind of physical exercise daily.
