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?

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.

View allI'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with this pain on the right side of her chest for a couple of weeks now. We had an ultrasound and X-ray done, and the doctor mentioned something about liver enlargement and fluid in her lower lungs. The reports also showed WBC lymphocytes at 20 and neutrophils at 76, plus there's an infection in her urine. We've tried different medications, but her pain hasn't gotten much better. What should we do for treatment? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been noticing that whenever I eat, it feels like the food isn't going down the right way and ends up in my windpipe. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I often get a burning feeling afterwards. I'm really concerned this might turn into aspiration pneumonia. What can I do to handle this? Would love some advice.

I've been experiencing a lot of gas, pain, and loose stools every morning for about a year and a half now, and I never really feel relaxed after going to the bathroom in the morning. Sometimes in the evening, my stool looks like my food is only partially digested. And it doesn't matter whether I eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner - I feel pressure every time. I'm getting worried and would like to know what's going on with my digestion. What could be causing these symptoms?
