Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After consult your doctor you can take Rabeprazole twice a day, tab paracetamol twice a day. Prefer soft, light, bland, vegan diet till possible. Consume more of whole grains, cereals, pulses, legumes, organic fresh fruits. Avoid all oily, spicy, non-veg, hot beverages, junk foods, carbonated drinks. Avoid over eating, prolong fasting. Avoid resting upto 2 hours after meals. Fix your timing of breakfast, lunch, dinner till possible. Avoid late night parties, dinners. Keep the head end of the bed elevated for 30 degrees when resting. Have regular walking in fresh air, exercises, YOGA. Avoid smoking, alcohol if consuming. Avoid stress, anxiety. Manage to have regular sound sleep of 8 hours. Intake of Proton pump inhibitors as Omeprazole or Pantoprazole on empty stomach 1 hour prior to lunch; antacid syrups as mylanta or others.
