default
Posted on Sat, 2 Jul 2016
Question: For three days I have had a mild stomach ache with bloating, and today I also developed a headache which keeps coming back after pain medication wears off.


I also have an unusually large bite on my neck - it is bigger than a mosquito bite and is very red.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Welcome
I have gone through your query and do understand your concern.
Kindly provide some information like
Have you taken any spicy food recently, alcohol?
Have you taken any food from outside?
Any nausea and or vomiting?
Regarding headache is it present through out the day or is more at particular time of a day?
Is there any recent history of cold or sinusitis?

Now based on the information I feel you might be having gastritis and headache might be due to sinusitis.

Few measures that will be beneficial, I'll mention them.
1. Avoid spicy food, alcohol and smoking if you do.
2. Avoid or reduce the intake of meat, dairy products, avoid excess drinking of coffee, tea, carbonated drinks, go for fresh fruit juices.
3. It is important to limit the food that causes bloating like potato, peas, legumes, cabbage.
4. As much as possible avoid out side food especially fast foods, go for home made foods.
5. Do not speak while eating. Also see to it that you walk for 10 to 15 minutes after having food.
6. Add more fibres to your diet, like take more vegetables, fresh fruit, salads will help you. Drink plenty of water.
7. For headache -- steam inhalation with few drops of eucalyptus oil in it, three time a day. Drink warm water, Oral NSAIDS like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Will be helpful.
Apart from this for bloating and stomach pain I would suggest you to take rantac ( ranitidine) 150 mg twice daily half an hour before food for a week. See local doctor to get valid prescription.And you can also take probiotics like ecobion or sporolac.

Kindly follow this measures you should be fine.
Hope this helps
I'll be glad to address your further questions
Take care
