Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
It seems that you have developed NSAIDs induced gastritis. Pain killers are well known to cause them and a lot many people are prone to it.
I would advise you to take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone and to take anti flatulent and anti acidity syrup like Digene/Gelusil for symptomatic relief. Don't consume any alcohol, or smoking in case you do.
Always mention your doctor that your develop gastritis following any pain killer. So, that your doctor would prescribe you the same along with the NSAIDs.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
