Suggest Treatment For Indigestion For Weeks

I have been having indigestion for 7 weeks now. No pain, just discomfort. I continiously keep burping. I have went for an endoscopy and I have taken the medication by the doctors. The medication has no effect at all as it s like taking tic tacs. May I know how long can this last and is there a cure?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history indigestion for 7 weeks now, just discomfort, went for endoscopy and taking the medicines prescribed but no effects at all, wants to know how long can this last and whether there is a cure.
This can last till your diagnosis has been made and proper management done.
This is definitely curable unless and until the diagnosis shows the cause to be incurable.
I would advise you the following:
Test of stool for 3 consecutive days
Tests of blood and urine.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
Clinical evaluation by a Doctor and an actual physical examination.
Correlation of all the findings to decide the cause to get the proper diagnosis and a plan for treatment.
I find this answer helpful
