Stomach infection; follow as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
It could be a stomach infection leading to pain and indigestion features. A bacterial infection is more likely.
In such patients I advise the following-

Soft bland diet for 3-5days. Lots of oral water and dietary fibers. Avoiding rich spicy food, alcohol and smoking if any.
Dicyclomine for pain abdomen.
Pantoprazole-domperidone for indigestion.
A course of antibiotics with ofloxacin-ornidazole or norfloxacin-tinidazole to tackle infection.
Probiotics like lactobacillus might be helpful later on.

You can consult your treating or family doctor and get these prescribed.
Dont worry, follow the above.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
