Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of indigestion despite taking Spasmo which seems to be either infection or inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. There can also be other reasons like gastritis , infection , ulcers or food allergy . I would suggest you to proton pump inhibitors and antacids such as Pantoprazole along with domperidone. You should take antispasmodics as well. Take plain and soft food and avoid hot, sharp and spicy food substances. You should take oral rehydration solution for maintaining the hydration and electrolyte balance of the body. You should consult gastroenterologist once and get complete blood investigations done. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. also eat slowly , drink plenty of warm water , do moderate workout .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
