I'm having this issue where after I eat anything, my throat gets filled with phlegm and I struggle to breathe properly because my air flow feels blocked. Plus, I can't seem to burp at all after eating, which is really uncomfortable. It's getting particularly bad at night, making it really hard to sleep. I've also noticed that when I eat non-veg items, there's a lot of saliva that builds up all at once. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Consider consulting an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like acid reflux, sinusitis, or food allergies, and in the meantime, try antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or histamine-2 blockers, and avoid trigger foods, especially non-veg items, to alleviate severe phlegm and breathing difficulties.

View allI took rifastop 400 this morning, and now I'm dealing with a bit of acidity and keep burping. Is it okay if I take a rantac 150 before bedtime after taking rifastop 400 earlier today?
-Yes, you can take Rantac 150 before Rifastop 400 to help reduce acidity. Take it 30 minutes before your dose in the morning and again at bedtime if needed. Always drink plenty of water with Rifastop to minimize irritation.

I've been dealing with something odd for the last couple of weeks. After eating, especially when I've had a big meal, my temperature goes up to around 99F and my pulse shoots up to 100bps, making me feel really uncomfortable. Sometimes, I also get these random pains in my abdomen, mostly on the right side, both upper and lower. The fever and pulse eventually settle down to normal after a few hours, but medications like paracetamol or ibuprofen dont seem to help at all. Any idea what's going on with me?
Based on your symptoms of elevated temperature, increased pulse rate, and abdominal pain after meals, it is possible that you may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or an underlying gastrointestinal issue. I recommend you to try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take an antispasmodic medication like Dicyclomine 10-20mg three times a day before meals to help with the abdominal pain. It is important to also avoid heavy meals, spicy foods, and caffeine which can exacerbate gastritis symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
