What Are The Side Effects Of Pepto Bismol?
Question: i have been lethargic, little to no appetite, my throat feels scratchy, light headed and achy all over
Brief Answer:
Needs symptomatic care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and I understand your concern. With history of pepto use I believe these throat scratching symptoms are attributed to this gastric discomfort. Take some antacids like omeprazole and and adapt diet and lifestyle modifications.
For throat use aspirin gargles and garlic water mouth rinse.
Other conservative symptoms are all conventional and needs symptomatic treatment.
Before advising any treatment suggestions i would suggest A baseline workup from A to Z as some times a little imbalance of electrolytes and slight anemic blood picture can present this way.
Taking SSRI medications like fluoxetines and calcium supplements in combination helps appetite. Vitamin supplements and some NSAIDS for pain relief Are suggested.
Rest for support you can try other options as well like yoga pilates and rehab programs for vocational and recreational domains.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
