Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am an 18-year-old female weighing 140 pounds and a height of five feet and five inches. I was just wondering if you could help. For the past couple of weeks, I have kept feeling nauseous and sick when eating or straight after. I also get pain on my upper left side in my ribs and in my munch pelvis. I have seen a gynecologist, and they will rule out any problems there. I am just wondering whether I need to go back to the doctor. A couple of months ago, I gained weight as well. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.

It is most probably an acidity and gastritis. Do you also have upper abdominal pain, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in the throat, or chest burning? These are the other symptoms that may be associated. Following are my suggestions:

  1. Avoid fatty, oily, and spicy food.
  2. Walk after having food instead of taking rest.
  3. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals.
  4. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress.
  5. Include lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet.
  6. Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.

You can get the prescribed tablet Pantop-D SR (Domperidone and Pantoprazole) 40 mg or Esomiprazole and Domperidone combination before breakfast once a day for two weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add syrup Sucral-O (Sucralfate and Oxetacaine) or Gelusil (Dimethicone and Aluminium hydroxide) two teaspoons three times a day for a week. For immediate pain relief, you can have an antispasmodic tablet Dicyclomine 20, or Hyoscyamine 10 mg, whenever needed, up to three times a day.

Hope this helps you get back if you have any doubts.

Regards.

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