Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Flatulence and gas formation is due to increase in bad bacteria in the gut. A course of Probiotics, such as Lactobacilli; PPIs, such as, Pantoprazole or Rabeprazole; and, Pro-kinetic agents, such as, Domperidone or Metoclopamide will cure the problems.

If the symptoms of gastritis have been there for a long time, it is commonly due to infection of the stomach & intestine by H.pylori. A 10-14 days' course of anti-H.pylori; followed by 3-6 months' course of PPIs, will eradicate the problems permanently.

Antibiotics are NOT required in common cold. Anti-allergics, such as, cetirizine / levoceterizine, along with nasal decongestants will suffice.


Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he agree with me, and will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” rating to my answer, to encourage all doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Fond regards and have a nice day
