Hi
thanks for writing HCM
I need further information regarding 1.)your husband age 2.)how long your husband is suffering with this problem 3.) symptoms of nausea /vomiting 4.)complaints of difficulty in passing stool 4.) factors aggravating your husband symptoms 5.) any episode like this before,its most probably analgesic induced gastritis.my advise is to take tablet meloxicam when ever needed.to drink plenty of water,regularly timed food with every 3 hour interval but all in small quantity for eg 2-4 biscuits with adequate water and to avoid spicy and oily food,no alcohol,no coffee,no junk foods. i usually prescribe my patients T.pan 40 mg 1-0-1 (before food) syp.gelusil (antacid) 2teaspoon Thrice daily for 1 week. if symptoms persists consult nearby general surgeon . i would be glad to provide answers to any further queries. Thanks for using HMC Have a good day! Regards Dr. V.KUMARAGURU general surgeon
