Brief Answer:
Try omeprazole. If no relief, see your physician!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. These symptoms are suggestive of gastritis and I will suggest that you try omeprazole for this. It is available over the counter at local stores like Wal-Mart, and pharmacies. I recommend you take 20mg daily.
If the pain should persist after 48hours, then I will suggest that you see your doctor for more exhaustive evaluation and management. Remember to drink as much fluids as needed to replace fluids lost through frequent and loose stools. Also try to relax and stay calm Stress would make gastritis worse.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Keep me updated on your decision and the evolution of the symptoms. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
