Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have fever/ cough with sputum/ respiratory distress?
Do you have acidic belching/ abdominal discomfort/ nausea or vomiting/ diarrhea and constipation?
What are the aggravating or relieving factor of pain?
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should go for complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ultrasound imaging, blood sugar, thyroid profile, and serum electrolytes, serum amylase, renal function test.
You should also go for endoscopy and urea breathe test for H. Pylori.
You should take proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics.
Take soft diet along with yogurt and banana.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
