hello,
Are you having a pain at surgery site, or some where else. If it's at surgery site, do you have fever, or the pain is increasing, if yes you should visit the surgeon to look for complication. If not then you can try some pain killer along with antacid.
If it's not at surgery site, then it can be acidity and reflux disease. Do you upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, if yes it further supports the diagnosis. You should avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg beforebreakfast once a day for 2 weeks.
