Hello,
I see that you are already under medication.
So, I recommend continuing the medications.
I also recommend to use a plain diet and drink a lot of liquids.
The symptoms will go away gradually, so I suggest you to be patient.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
