Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constipation and upper abdominal burning which can occur due to many reasons and it is extremely important to find out the exact cause. Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of sharp, spicy and hot food substances. Drink one spoon of honey in warm water daily. You should add laxatives in diet. Drink plenty of fluids. I would advise you to consult your physician or gastroenterologist and get examination done like complete blood count, stool examination, ultrasound scan of abdomen, and colonoscopy examination. You should start treatment after complete examination. Doctor may prescribe you traditional drugs like lactulose, milk of magnesia and cremaffin or bisacodyl tablets.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
