Stomach Pain, Burning Sensation, Vomiting, Excess Saliva. Medication And Treatment ?
Question: My son how is 27 is having stomach pain with burning. He did vomit once. Also has excessive saliva. He has no insurance and cannot see a doctor. Any medicine over the counter that may help? Please!
Hello and thanks for the query.
It is very likely that he has a moderate case of gastritis which is caused by excessive acid secretion and irritation of the lining of the stomach.
This causes a variety of symptoms including pain in the abdomen, nausea and vomiting. The excessive saliva is a natural mechanism by which the body prepares for vomiting.
For him I recommend you to go to the pharmacy to obtain omeprazole 20 mg tablets. He should take one tab with breakfast and one with dinner for 7 days. After 7 days he should take one with breakfast only for 21 more days. This should promote healing and resolution of his symptoms.
I thank you again for the query. I hope this response proves to be helpful. If you have any additional concerns I would be happy to address them.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
