Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX

Thanks for contacting HealthcareMagic.

You seem to be having nonulcer dyspepsia. For how long are you having these symptoms.

You should take a course of gut antibiotic like rifaximin, along with a combination of proton pump inhibitors and a prokinetics. Take these for 3 weeks and if symptoms persist then you will need investigations like endoscopy and few blood tests. Any physician near your place can prescribe these medicines.

You can ask again if you have any other query related to this.

Best wishes.

Dr Dinesh Kumar Singal
