Question: Hi Sir,
2 and half month back i got viral fever and later throat infection, cold. for these i was on antibiotics for almost 2 to 3 weeks.
For vit d deficiency im taking calcirol also for the last 5 weeks.
Because of long usage of antibiotics i got gastric problem. Now my symptoms are:
Stomach fullness, no appetite to eat, some times panic feeling, fatigue. If i take any antacid tablet, then after some time i feel comfortable. Also, some times i feel feverishness at evening times. All these symptoms exists for the last 2 months. I took endoscopy, biospy. it looks normal. I'm using Cintodac daily one in the morning and rivotril 0.5 in the night for the last 3 days now.
Still im not recovering, im feeling whether there any infection in the stomach.

Im really worried.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thank you for posting query at HCM.
I read your medical history and understood your concern.
Your presentation does not point towards any severe disease.
However, lab results of following tests may aid in combating the stress.
Firstly, you may have the following examination:
Hydrogen Breath Test
Stool test for occult blood
Liver function Test
Blood Routine test ( CBC)
Secondly, for bloating:
- avoid going to bed soon after having lunch / dinner. Have you dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed
- mix few drops of lemon juice in warm water. Drink on empty stomach, early in the morning, to aid in bowel movement ( 3 to 5 days)
-OTC Simethicone tablets and probiotics maybe used to combat bloating.
-Chew food well and try not to talk/open mouth while chewing food as it causes more air to enters stomach and may lead to bloating.
-warm water intake as much as possible
- eat small meals (rich in fiber)
-eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- avoid COLD milk and AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza) altogether.
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks
