Hello dear
I understand your concern
Pepto bismol is an antacid medication used to treat temporary discomforts of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract, such as indigestion, heartburn and nausea.
But it is used for the temporary relief.
Take it 30 minutes before meal twice daily.
Along with this take following advises:
Oral simethicone and tablet unienzyme will help in faster relief.
Tablet dicyclomine heap to relieve pain.
Continue the pantoprazole.
Take BRAT diet: banana, orange, applesauce and toast.
Take more buttermilk, curd and yogurt.
Avoid stress, alcohol, carbonated beverages, spicy and oily food and smoking.
Take small frequent meal rather than large meal.
Do regular exercise like exercise and yoga daily in the morning.
Take above medicine for the 7-10 days.
If not resolves then consult the gastroenterologist and go for endoscopy and H.pylori testing.
Hope this may help you
