Suggest Treatment For Severe Acid Reflux

Severe gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
I'm Dr. Shuba Hariprasad and will be answering your query today.
Your symptoms indicate an exacerbation of gastritis or gastroduodenal ulcers & associated colic
Would you clarify a few things for me, please?
-do you smoke or consume alcohol
I recommend :
-a physician consult right away.
-a Proton pump inhibitor by intravenous administration if not able to keep anything down.
-an antiemetic, if required.
-have liquid diet and take fluids in small sips (a tablespoon or 2 ever 5 minutes.
-avoid carbonated, sugary and caffeinated drinks.
-food and drinks should be lukewarm or cool. Cool milk is a natural antacid. Have half a cup thrice a day.
- antispasmodics will help as well
- an endoscopy may be necessary if treatment doesn't help in a few weeks.
Please consult your doctor as soon as possible to check for dehydration and treat promptly. Both toradol and prednisone can cause or worsen gastritis and ulcers.
Your usual pantoprazole is not helping now, especially as you can't keep food down.
Hope this helps and you feel better soon.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
