Patient: i recently suffered from a fever and loss about 3-4 kilos. I was taking amoxil and pain killers. Since the fever, I have felt stomach pain in my upper abdomen that i never felt before, the last three times i masterbated. I find that when I eat some food, the does pain eases abit. Any suggestions please? Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query and an elucidate history of easing of pain on eating some food. The most probable diagnosis in your case looks to be Gastritis or gastric ulcer caused by the painkillers.I would suggest you the following:Zantac 12 hourly.Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach. Add Domperidone or such motility regulators.Soft bland diet. No aerated colas / soda/ drinks.Early dinner. No late nights.Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)Lying in a reclining positionWalk around after dinner.Think of the factors which increased the present problem, GERD, anxiety and try to avoid. If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines.
