Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm twelve year's old and I'm experiencing severe heartburn. It's like a acid like burning around my heart area. I get this two or three times a day every day the past week. I experience this burning sensation at around 10 a.m. then it goes away at around 11:30 a.m then it starts up again at 12:40 p.m when I have gym (I'm in middle school) and then it goes into my net period class and it ends at around 1:40 P.m. I'm not sure if I should go and seek medical attention. Please help.
There are many causes of gastritis and stomach pain. Food allergy or infection or painkiller medication etcetera. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
