Brief Answer: He has Acute gastritis or intestinal infection Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX, Thanks for your query. From the information provided, it seems that your dad is suffering from Acute Gastritis (hyperacidity). The safest drugs would be PPIs, such as, Rabeprazole or Lansoprazole twice daily for 3-4 days, followed by once a day for 3-4 weeks (for gastric trouble); and, 2-3 days of Metoclopramide (to stop vomiting and also promote forward propulsion of food down the intestine. Both drugs are available OTC. If he has developed loose stools (diarrhea) after you posted this query, it may then be food poisoning. In that case, a 5-day course of Metronidazole (an OTC drug) will suffice. He will be cured in 3-5 days' time. Passage of black tarry colored stools (if at all) would denote bleeding in the stomach/duodenum (due to Acitrom). It is a medical emergency and should therefore be taken to a hospital immediately. Hope I have addressed to your concerns to your complete satisfaction and you find my response helpful and informative. I will be happy to answer further queries, if any. Fond regards and have a nice day, Dr. Rakesh Karanwal
