  3. Abdominal cramping and belly discomfort.
  4. Repeated vomiting.
  5. The feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Regarding your symptoms, I propose you have developed a post-operative adhesion that is causing partial abdominal obstruction

I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions.

  1. Take 20 ml of syrup Gaviscon (Sodium alginate) three times a day.
  2. Take a tablet of Simethicone (Dimethicone) 180mg and a capsule of Erythromycin (Erythromycin stearate) 500mg three times a day.
  3. Take a tablet of Hyoscine butyl bromide 10mg and Omeprazole 40mg two times a day.
  4. Consume a lot of fruits and vegetables.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take the medications with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
