Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely gastritis. Zantac won't be effective for all. You might need a proton pump inhibitor therapy like junior lansoperazole i usually prescribe for such condition for 1 to 2 weeks.If peptic ulcer symptoms like night pain or early morning pain is present then i give sucralfate syrup also.If no improvement then a fibrogastroduodenoscopy will be needed to rule out any peptic ulcers.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
