Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband and I are both suffering from what seems to be a stomach virus. He has had symptoms for about 3 weeks, and me about 1.5. Bloated stomach (especially after eating) some diarreah,, mild regurgitation. No fever. My husband s symptoms have been more acute than mine. we are both taking Mylanta and it seems to help only temporarily. My husband had arthroscopic knee surgery on 3/8 and had severe headache and nausea symptoms. The nausea has abated (except for the stomach symptoms above) but is still having headache issues , although not as badly as the 2 to 4 days after surgery. The doctor felt he was having a reaction to the anesthesia and possibly to the multiple medicines they gave him after surgery to counter the nausea.
Treatment of stomach infection depends upon the cause. So he needs to perform a stool analysis. In viral infection; you need to rest your stomach, avoid foods that aggravate the symptoms such as large meals, spicy food, and fatty meals. Then your doctor will prescribe drugs to relieve your symptoms such as Proton pump inhibitors and analgesics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Abed Tahrawi
