Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Let me know the associated symptoms along with mentioned.
Do you have acidic belching/ abdominal discomfort/ abdominal bloating/ excessive flatulence?
Do you have constipation/ watery diarrhea/ frequent urge to use washroom?
With the available described symptoms, there could be possibility of acute gastritis or gastroenteritis.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should go for complete blood count, serum amylase, ultrasound imaging of abdomen, renal function test.
Meanwhile, you should take proton pump inhibitors, antispasmodics and antacids.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
