Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms suggest that you have developed gastritis which is inflammation of inner lining of stomach and this results in acidity and pain.
Treatment lies in modifying your diet by avoiding spicy and fried foods,alcohol and smoking
and consuming soft normal diet for few days.
In addition you can start taking a proton pump inhibitor like PANTOPROZOLE 40 mg once a day on empty stomach in the morning for 10-14 days.
You would be all right with this treatment.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
