With regards to my throat problem which I sent you yesterday,I am sending my ENDOSCOPY report .kindly provide me some valuable advice.
Brief Answer:
This may help
Detailed Answer:
Seen the reports and photos.
My advise would be:
GERD
I would advise the following in such a patient:
Zantac 12 hourly and/ PPI like Omeprazole
Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach.
Add Domperidone or such motility regulators. (needs a prescription)
Soft bland diet.
No aerated colas / soda/ drinks.
Early dinner. No late nights.
Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)
Lying in a reclining position
Walk around after dinner.
Think of the factors which increased the present problem, GERD, anxiety and avoid all such factor strictly.
No smoking/drinking, if you are doing.
It is also observed that there are so many other things like incense sticks - that is agarbatti, dhoopbatti, scents, scented things of any sort, Deodorants and such factors do not allow one to get alright- your observation will help you to find out all such factors which should be avoided at any cost.
If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines.
This helps all my patients and should help you hopefully.
