Took Sulcafate for severe heartburn and abdominal pain, pain recurred, diarrhea, swollen lymph nodes. Reason ?
Patient: Hi I'm 21 years old about to be 22 in November about three months ago I had shingles and now after an intense session going to the doctors because of severe heartburn and abdominal pain they helped me by prescribing SULCRFATE which I'm put of the pain just came back a day ago and a week prior I fell and had a concussion now I'm feeling weird I'm sensitive to light, my upper abdomin is hurting again, burning and pressure to be specific and diarehea & swollen lymphnodes under my left armpit. What is going on? Please help Doctor: Hi, it appears that you have gastric irritation, and infection causing diarrhea. You need to be treated for this first, sucralfate also may cause diarrhea. For concussion and sensitive to light you may have to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment.                              For intestines i prescribe omeprazole, ofloxacin, and loperamide when ever there is diarrhea. Thank you.
