Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Consume plenty of liquids in form of boiled water, lemon juice, coconut water, homemade juices, organic tea, coffee, buttermilk etc. Prefer soft, light,bland, vegan diet with fresh curd preferably. Avoid all types of oily, spicy, non veg, hot beverages, junk foods, dairy fat, milk, aerated drinks till recovery. Intake of PPI ( as omeprazole ), antibiotics (with metronidazole on pack), Racecadrotil as an anti secretory agent , antispasmodic agent as Dicyclomine requires prescription with your doctor .
