Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 28-year-old female suffering from abdominal pain. I was diagnosed a year ago with GERD. I took Prazole, Omeprazole, and Nexium but nothing happened. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Where exactly in the abdomen you are having pain, is it upper or lower, right or left? Do you have any nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or white discharge? We should try to rule out other causes as well. It can still be an acidity and reflux disease. Do you have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in the throat, or chest burning? If yes, it further supports the diagnosis.

1. You should avoid fatty, oily, and high-calorie diets.

2. Have some walks after having food instead of taking a rest.

3. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals.

4. Maintain regular sleep habits and avoid stress.

5. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits.

6. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.

7. You can take the tablet Pan DSR (Domperidone and Pantoprazole) 40 mg before breakfast once a day for 2 to 4 weeks.

You will probably need a prolonged antacid. Also, you need to add the syrup Sucral-O (Sucralfate and Oxetacaine) two teaspoons three times a day for a week. You should have antispasmodics like Dicyclomine 20 mg or Hyoscyamine 10 mg whenever needed.

Get one ultrasound abdomen done, and get back if you have more information to share on your problem or any doubts.

Thank you and take care.

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