Brief Answer:
Due to Gastritis/acidity
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query and i can understand your concern.
According to your history given by you, you are facing these problems due to gastritis.
The most commonest cause for problems with acidity considering your young age would be following
1. Irregular food habits - spicy food, junk food
2. Stress and worry
3. Weather: Hot weather may worsen the symptoms
4. medications like pain killers
As far as medical treatment is concerned, I would start proton pump inhibitors likeTab Pantap/ Tab Esomeprazole once a day along with antacids for 2-3 weeks. These should take care of acute hyperacidity treatments.
You can take Syrup Gelucil/Mucain gel 5 ml twice daily for 2- 3 weeks
If you have regurgitation you can take Tab Omeprazole-D twice daily half an hour before food along with Syp Gelucil
However, long term management is with diet and life style change. They include:
1. Avoiding unnecessary medications especially over the counter pain medicines.
2. Taking regular food. Prefer small and frequent food instead of 3 large meals a day.Have bland diet and avoid spicy food and junk food.
3. Look forward to dietary triggers that induce hyperacidity and avoid it. Common triggers are high spicy diet, deep fried and smoked food, alcohol, caffeinated beverages, coffee/tea, etc. Smoking is also a trigger. Avoid them if you have any such triggers.
4. Drink plenty of water
5. Make sure you sleep adequately.
Take care
