Question 1

So my mom, Karthiyayani, went to your clinic on the 9th because she had this stomach pain after taking the Duvanta tablet at night. You originally prescribed Palmigas, Duvanta, Gpital, and Pan D. She didn't take the Pan D at night like you instructed, only in the morning. We're just a bit worried since your clinic isn't open on Sundays, and wanted to ask if she should keep taking these meds or not.

Accepted Answer

Karthiyayani should continue the prescribed medicines:

Medicines to Continue

1. Palmigas
2. Duvanta (as directed)
3. Gpital (as directed)

Next Steps

1. Monitor stomach pain and report any worsening.
2. Follow dosage instructions.
3. Schedule a follow-up appointment for Monday or earliest available time.

Please confirm her condition improves or worsens. If concerns arise, contact the clinic or on-call doctor.

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've had HH for the last 10 years and been on medication, specifically nexpre 20 plain, every day and it's been manageable. But for the last 5 or 6 years, I've noticed blood in my stool occasionally which goes away after a few days. This time something else seems to be happeninglike some kind of flesh is coming out and I have no idea what that could be. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Question 3

I've been experiencing a burning sensation in my food pipe for a few days now. My doctor advised me to get an endoscopy, and it turns out I have an H. pylori infection and some erosions. The doctor prescribed Pantocid HP for 14 days, and I'm currently on the 7th day. I'm still having that burning feeling in my food pipe and stomach. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for patients to feel relief. Also, should I be taking the Pantocid HP before or after meals?

Accepted Answer

The treatment for Helicobacter Pylori infection can take more than 14 days. The burning sensation in your throat is a symptom of that infection, which can be manageable through use of antacid tablets and gels, such as Mucaine, Gelusil, Pantocid, or Omez. There is no fixed time after which all patients will invariably feel relief. Some patients respond faster to medication, while some require longer time durations with recalibration of medication and lifestyle modification. Pantocid tablets are to be take 15-30 minutes before food.
