Brief Answer:
Seems to be viral fever
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Probably you have developed gastritis as a result of taking diclofenac.
White coated tongue occurs due to dehydration.
Reduced appetite and these symptoms are suggestive of Viral fever.
Give me following details:
1. Is your fever persisting?
2. Any pain in throat?
3. Any weight loss?
4. Any yellow discoloration of eyes and urine?
5. What medications are you currently taking?
This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy
