Brief Answer:
Peptic ulcers recurrance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
I respect your restrictions.
You definitely have acid reflux and probably Peptic ulcers are there again which could be bleeding. An upper GI Endoscopy should be done to diagnose the same.Don't take ibuprofen or any anti inflammatory it will further worsen your symptoms.
As of now
The treatment is avoid alcohol and smoke.
Avoid any acidic foods and hot beverages.
Please Take Tab Rabeprazole 20mg or Cap Omeprazole 20mg twice a day on empty stomach. Don't stay empty stomach for long periods. Have cooling meals like bread, biscuits and cool milk. These measures should get your problems resolved.
Sucralfate with oxitacaine can be taken 15ml once at night with half cup of water.

Follow up with reports of upper G.I endoscopy.
Take care and do let me know if there are any queries on this subject.


Thanks

Brief Answer:
Apthous ulcers.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,

As per your query most likely they are apthous ulcer.

Aphthous ulcers are typically recurrent ulcers inside the mouth on areas where the skin is not tightly bound to the underlying bone, such as on the inside of the lips and cheeks or underneath the tongue. They are sometimes caused by damage to the mouth, such as accidentally biting your tongue or eating something hard and sharp. Ulcers that keep recurring may be caused by stress, anxiety, eating certain foods, stopping smoking, or hormonal changes.It can also develop during your monthly period.

Take any over counter probiotic for few days along with Vitamin B complex supplements daily.
Use Betadine mouth wash twice daily.
Place milk of magnesia on the mouth ulcer covering mouth ulcers with baking soda paste.
Over-the-counter benzocaine (topical anesthetic) products like Orajel or Anbesol can be used to provide symptomatic relief in pain.

It will take 4-5 days to go away.

Hope i answered your query well.

Regards.
