Brief Answer:
?? gastric conditions should be ruled out/confirmd

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Your symptoms do seem a little vague but in my opinion the most likely cause for such a presentation could be a gastric abnormality; a condition like acid reflux.

For your better understanding let me list symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), they are:
-Hoarseness of voice
-Sensation of a lump in the throat
-Sore throat
-Heartburn (irritation or burning sensation in chest or around the stomach region)
-Dry cough
-Acid reflux causing a coating on the tongue or even weakness in teeth or discolouration of teeth
-Nausea or vomiting
-Regurgitation of food
and a few others. But please note that not all symptoms need to be present to confirm a diagnosis. I would recommend a visit to your doctor and go about an elaborate evaluation along with a 24-hour acid pH monitoring to confirm/rule out GERD.

The body pain and pain in the bones could be related to a possible nutrient deficiency which can arise from underlying gastrointestinal abnormalities but will obviously have to be investigated. Although the bone pain cannot be directly related to your other symptoms, so they could be the sign of another underlying condition.

As I see from a few other queries posted by you sir, you seem to be worried about your health, which is a good thing and so I would recommend an elaborate full body evaluation that you can undergo at any multi-speciality hospital to confirm any abnormalities or learn that you are healthy. In the meantime, make sure you drink plenty of water and maintain good oral hygiene to protect your oral cavity.

I hope you find my response helpful and informative sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
That information helps a lot sir

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Thank you for that information, it is indeed vital and very helpful.

One of the major side effects of antibiotic use is increase gas production, which is why antibiotics are always prescribed with medications like ranitidine, pantoprazole, etc; that help in controlling the gas production. So the gastric irritation is quite clearly due to the antibiotic use, and what confirms it is that the gassy nature of your presentation only started after the initiation of the antibiotics.

Sometimes (rarely) with the use of antibiotics, the body creates a surrounding that promotes the thriving of fungus (especially candida) that results in a white coating on the tongue that is called oral thrush. This has to be confirmed with the help of a throat swab from the back of your throat, please report to a doctor for the same.

Oral thrust is treated with either oral or systemic medications depending on the severity. I hope you can report to a doctor for the adequate and appropriate management of the condition you are experiencing sir. I also hope you find my responses helpful sir, please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further assistance, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
