What Causes Burning Sensation And Mouth Ulcers After Eating Chicken And Prawns?
Question: Hi, whenever I eat chicken, prawns, after a day or two start feeling burning sensation while sleeping.(especially early morning), drinking water would relief me momentarily. alternatively taking Aciloc 150 tablets 5 to 6 dosage or more right after consuming chicken or prawns would relieve me from burning sensation. Simultaneously heat boils on mouth including tongue also observed. Please let me know how can i avoid this without pills or any permanent kind of solution, i feel like my stomach mucosal layer is weekened, due to which more acidity and heat absorbed to body and hence the burning sensation. if so is there anyway to improve my stomach mucosal condition. Thanks

Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
This can be because of any of the following 2 reasons:
1. Hyperacidity / Acid Peptic Disease.

1st and 2nd are more likely, but many times this can be result of a very little allergic reaction.
In order to help you better, i need a few more details:

Brief Answer:
Seems to be hyperacidity
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
It seems you are suffering from hyperacidity.
I advise you to get an Endoscopy with H.pylori test.
Till then you should observe the following:
1. To consume soft and bland diet.
2. To take Tab Pantocid 40 mg twice a day.
3. To avoid spicy food that is with chicken and prawn.
I would like to know if you can afford or its feasible for you to undergo endoscopy..
If you can review with reports..
If you can't let me know
If you have a further query please ask me. Else close the discussion and rate it.
