Brief Answer:
It's Indigestion.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

It seems like your body is not able to digest the spicy food and hence you are having Indigestion.

I advise you take less amount of food for few days , avoid non veg food , avoid oily food and take more of citrus fruits.

If problem still persists ask your doctor for a prescription of Digestive enzyme medications ( ex: Aristozyme ) and use it .

Hope this information was useful to you.

doctor
Answered by Dr. Divakara (14 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Not 100% effective.

Detailed Answer:
HI

NO vaccine is 100 % effective . The vaccine that is prepared is from last year's Virus and if the present year's is structurally different then you may not get protection against Swine flu.

But something is better than nothing . So get it .

Yes gastric ( I think you meant that only with fastric ) can give slight discomfort or pain , nothing to worry.

I have breathing diacomfort and more worries on swinflu. Is breathing discomfort alone a symptom of swinflu .
doctor
Answered by Dr. Divakara (22 hours later)
Brief Answer:
It's Unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Most of the time Swine Flu will have fever, soar throat . Without these two symptoms with only breathing discomfort may not be Swine flu.

If the breathing discomfort increases then consult your doctor and get tested for Swine Flu.

Brief Answer:
It could be allergy . Relax

Detailed Answer:
HI

Don't be scared . Cold could be due to Viral or bacterial infection or it could be due to Allergy .

If there is no fever or soar throat then most like it is due to allergy. You can give her Cetrizine and steam inhalation.

Drink hot water, Avoid Non veg and oily food . Avoid Citrus Fruits.

Brief Answer:
No it's unlikely to be swine flu.

Detailed Answer:
HI

HI

Don't be afraid . As mentioned in my previous reply Swine Flu will have fever, soar throat , just loose motions with soar throat is unlikely to be swine flu.

Drink plenty of water , tender coconut water , avoid oily and non veg food . If loose motions increases in frequency get Stool Routine test done and revert back .

Don't worry.
