Hello
As your father stated that this pain is due to gastritis ( caused by alcohol intake ) , ranitidine is not working .
When such case visit with excruciating pain , patient need to take antacid ( if it contains oxetacaine , better )4 T S F ( until and unless contraindicated ) according to necessity .
Also give your father aceclofenac 100 mg+drotaverine 80 mg ( COMBINATION ) a tablet orally according to need.
Ibuprofen will further produce ( aggravate ) gastritis.
Your father will get relief immediately with this treatment .
But this is a prescription treatment so take a prescription from a doctor .
Still ,no relief within 4-5 hours then consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
