Detailed Answer:
Hi Ms. XXXXXXX

Welcome to health care magic.

I am suspecting viral infection of stomach which is usually associated with nausea, heart burn and body pains.

I suggest you get a prescription for the following medications to relieve your symptoms as soon as possible:
1. For burning in the stomach - Tab Pantop 40 mg twice daily before food for 3 days.
2. For body pain and knee pain - Tab Flexon-MR twice daily after food for 3 days.

Fluid diet is recommended for at least a week.

Take at least 3-4 liters of water per day.

Avoid eating spicy and fatty food.

Viral infections are usually self limiting and will reduce within a week to 10 days.

If you take the above mentioned medications you will feel better in 3-5 days.

If your knee pain does not reduce, I suggest you get in touch with an orthopedician and get it examined in detail.

I hope I have helped you with this answer.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks.
