Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Firstly thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
As per your query most likely you are having acute gastritis.It is Inflammation of the stomach ..
Possible causes and habits that could lead to acute gastritis include: medications like aspirin and some pain medicines that can harm the lining and walls of the stomach the excessive consumption of alcohol; drinking alcohol, coffee, tea, and lemon juice on an empty stomach; and eating hot foods.When hot foods enter into injured areas of the stomach, the stomach lining and the interior walls slow or stop altogether the flow of blood in the stomach walls, causing reddening, irritation, and in some cases bleeding. All of this can gradually lead to chronic ulcers. An increase of uric acid in the blood can also be the cause of acute gastritis. Some remedies for the treatment of acute gastritis may be very useful in place of using higher-strength medications.Use antacids like omeperazole or pantoprazole before . In my clinic, I suggest 40 mg before breakfast.
Using motility agents like domperidone will help with rapid stomach emptying and decreased refurge or heart burn or vomiting.
Don't lye flat right after meals but take brisk walk or stay upright for almost half an hour after meals.
Avoid spicy, greasy, oily foods as well as fizzy drinks.
Avoid too much quantity if hot beverages.
Eating bee honey regularly before meals helps fortify the walls of the stomach.
Add 2 tablespoons of bee honey to warm water and drink daily on an empty stomach.
Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a cup of hot or warm milk and take early each morning to cure the stomach of irritation, and this is the best treatment for gastritis.
If not relieved in 3 days go for ultrasound abdomen to rule out gallbladder pathology.
Regards!
