Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
Well looks like you are suffering from acidity and upset stomach.
Can try taking an over the counter medication like omeprazole 20 mg twice a day for 5 days along with a prokinetic like domperidone 10 mg twice a day both to be taken empty stomach for 5 days.
Also can try taking a probiotic which are available over the counter to set the gut flora right.
Some life style modification like small frequent meals, avoiding eating 2hrs after meals will help.
If symptoms are severe or not better worthwhile getting few tests like liver function test, stool and urine examined in consultation with your gastroenterologist.
Hope this answers your query.
Best wishes.
