Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My 67-year-old father has been experiencing stomach pain, specifically in the front part of his abdomen, for the past 8 days. Although he has taken pain medication which provides some relief, the pain has not completely subsided. Additionally, he is frequently belching, unable to pass gas through the rectum, and this seems to result in gas accumulation in his stomach. Over the last two days, he has also developed constipation. The constant feeling of fullness due to gas has significantly reduced his appetite.
Currently, he is taking Drotin DS twice a day for pain relief and has tried Colimax for stomach pain, which offered only partial relief. He is also taking Pantoprazole 40 mg once a day to address the issue of gas.
I would greatly appreciate any further recommendations you may have regarding his condition. Please help.
Thank you.
