Suggest Remedy For Pain And Discomfort Post Recovery From Pelvic Infection
I am 37 years of age, weigh 80kg and am 6,1 m in height. I have been on antibiotic doxytet in case of pelvic infection because I inserted loop about a week ago. The doxytet has had a severe effect on my upper stomach for past 5 days. I was told to stop doxytet and doctor put me on lenamet but every 3 hours the pain comes back, burning and discomfort in the upper part and hot flushes and nausea bottom part of chest feels pressure. A friend told me about topzole. Would this help?

Hi, I understand your query. The symptoms you suggests are because of hyper acidity with regurgitation esophagitis /gastritis- following consumption of antibiotics. To overcome it- -Antibiotic should not be taken on an empty stomach- acn be taken after light food/milk, - Start taking non spicy , non oily easily digestible food in small & frequent servings ( cold milk taken 2 hourly helps)food - Start taking proton pump inhibiters like Lanaprazole/Topzole twice a day along with the antibiotic. - Antacids like gelusilMPS can be sucked to sooth the burning in chest./ will also relieve pressure in chest. Thanks.
