Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You are suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). All your symptoms are very typical of GERD. Kindly follow the following management plan and you will be doing well.

Investigations to be done

Not needed at the moment.

Probable diagnosis

GERD.

Capsule Deslansoprazole 60 mg one in the morning before breakfast for four weeks, tablet Levosulpiride 25 mg one tablet three times daily before meals for two weeks, syrup Gaviscon 10 ml three times daily after meals for one week and then as per need.

Preventive measures

1. Avoid eating within two hours of going to bed. 2. Take small and frequent meals. 3. Avoid coffee, tea, choclates and carbonated drinks in the evening time. 4. Increase the head end of your bed by five inches. 5. Avoid smoking if any.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Will it get cured after using these medicines? Should I need to avoid dals, tamarind, etc.? And I am even suffering from constipation problem.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, I am hopeful that your symptoms will improve with these medications, but it can recur if you stop the lifestyle changes, which I told you. Please avoid spicy foods for a few weeks.

For constipation, take syrup Cremafin 10 ml (antacid) daily at night time. You can decrease or increase its dose depending upon the consistency of your stool.

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