Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you are having increased acidity in stomach.
You should continue taking protium 20 mg. You should take in addition Domperidone 10 mg once a day along with protium.
You should also take a lactobacillus preparation.

You should also go for de-worming by taking full course of Albendazole 400 mg at night.

Digestive enzymes preparation containing pepsin and fungal diastase will be beneficial.

Avoid foods that aggravate your problem.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.

Hi,
You are taking protium 20 daily so you seem to have Gastro esophageal reflux disease,
Trouble started when you were on holidays. Naturally you had rest, irregular & spicy food, may be overeating &drinking prosecco added to the problem. &
Hyper acidity in such a condition leads to dyspepsia or indigestion.
The food is not digested ,lot of gas is formed-which creates abdominal pain, belching.
To alleviate pain in such a case
-Antiflatulant like Simethicone
- Metoclopramide tablet
-Enzyme preparations to improve digestion can be taken.
The doses & suitable brands should be decided under your doctor’s guidance.
As far to days party is conserned,it is better to just attend the party, meet friends, have pleasant discussion -but avoid hot discussions, tensions & also drinks, spicy- indigestible food. These things may worsen your problem.
Protium20 takes 4 to 6 weeks of medication with good dietary control & light daily exercises to control GERD.
Thank you,
