Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] Please do not worry.
2] Pantoprazole is safe medicine during lactation.
3] I will suggest small frequent feeds, avoiding deep fried foods, bakery products, spicy foods. this will help reduce acidity.
4] Please indulge in a healthy diet and exercise regime.
5] This will help in reducing acidity and need of daily pantocid medication.
6] As you have rightly said Dezacor is asteroidal anti inflammatory medicine; it is usually not advised for lactating mother. But if risks outweigh benefits, then short course of smallest possible dose for a short duration of 5 days with proper tapering can be taken.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
