Brief Answer:
Gastric reflux

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

Your symptoms are suggestive of gastric reflux.

With history of 4 Days duration and your symptoms brain tumour is not possible. Need not worry about tumour

Increased acid secretion results in vomiting sensation and as more amount of acid in stomach it reflux back into mouth causing bad breath and dry mouth.

I usually advice for my patients with similar complaints with:
Avoid spicy food for few days.
Tab. pantoprazole 40 mg before break fast once a day for 7 days.
Tab. Domperidone before break fast for 7 days.
Avoid oily and out side food
These measure will relieve your symptoms.

Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Brief Answer:
Diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for follow up query.

Brain tumour is rare condition, that you need to understand this. it's very very negligible chance for a person to get it. So first you need to understand that you are a healthy person .

Some amount of fear is common in all human beings, if its not controllable then only it becomes as a anxiety.

Its good that bad breath has disappeared. Means improvement in your condition towards normal. If its a tumour case this improvement woundn't have happened.

Diet rich in vegetables and fresh fruits and you can also take milk and milk products. You just have to reduce spicy ingredients in your food. No other restrictions required.

Hope I answered your query.
