Brief Answer:

Probably gastritis. Try Pantoprazole daily!

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have reviewed your information fully and this is very much suggestive of acute gastritis. This could be caused by an infection, stress, or drugs that are commonly used in treating pain.

I recommend pantoprazole 40mg daily. Kindly report progress to me. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Regards,
