I'm a 25-year-old man who has been suffering from stomach pain for over a month. When the pain began, I went to the doctor, who prescribed lansoprazole 15 mg. I took them for a week, but the discomfort worsened and didn't seem to go away. I went to the hospital and was prescribed lansoprazole 30 mg, which I took for three weeks with no change. I returned to the hospital, and this time I have prescribed amoxicillin, anaerobyl, and lansoprazole again. I've been taking these tablets for five days and have yet to see any difference. What can I do to relieve the burning pain in my stomach?

1. If its normal gastritis or gerd (gastro intestinal reflux disease), symptoms should have come down with just a course of ppi (proton pump inhibitors -reduce acid secretion in stomach =lansoprazole/pantaprazole etc) for a total duration of 4-6 wks. 2. If it does not come down with ppi alone, you might have an ulcer thats infected by h.pylori bacteria in stomach, for that combination of antibiotics and ppi are give for duration of 14 days. 3. If no relief of symptoms = try getting evaluated with upper gi endoscopy. 4. Usg abdomen and pelvis can be done to see any chronic pancreatits (if your diet includes excess fat/ alcohol). 5. Avoid salted smoked, spicy fatty foods, have food within 3 hrs of waking up and do not lie down for 2 hrs after having food, fiber rich diet, eater 2-3l/day. 6. You can use mucaine gel for burning sensation relief (use it 2 hrs before or after taking other medicines)

What r other symptoms that you r experiencing? By doing what like walking, exertion, eating or empty stomach- it increases or decreases in intensity. For how much time the pain remains? Is there stiffness also? How is your appetite? R you constipated? Any problem in urine? I need to know more to be able to make diagnosis. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, carbonated beverages 8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 9. Drink lot of water.10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, swimming, gym etc. Till lockdown do suryanamaskar every day. for this homeopathy offers good results. Consult online with details.
