Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, these can be due to antibiotics usage or may also be due to gastritis. In any case, you will need antacids before meals.
Ranitidine can be safer as omeprazole or other PPIs can cause a further drop in white cell counts so should better be avoided. Sucralfate may also be used.
Consulting your primary doctor and getting fresh counts is better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
