I've been recovering from COVID, and it's been over 35 days since I got my first positive test. Lately, I've been experiencing this dull chest pain that comes and goes on its own. There's also this burning pain mostly on the left side of my chest. I've been taking treatment for GERD for the last 10 days with pantop d 40mg once a day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you offer some guidance on what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing persistent chest pain and symptoms of GERD despite taking Pantop D 40mg once a day. In this case, you can try adding an antacid like Ranitidine 150mg twice a day before meals to help with the burning chest pain. Additionally, you can try Sucralfate suspension 1-2 teaspoons four times a day to help coat and protect the lining of your stomach. Make sure to continue following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

View allI've just finished a 14-day treatment for H. pylori, and while most of my symptoms are gone, I'm still having stomach issues. Eating out or having chicken seems to upset my stomach, and I end up with loose motions. I'm mostly eating food from a mess, so I'm wondering what kind of diet I should stick to and what types of food I should avoid to prevent this from happening. Can you help me figure out a plan?
After completing an H. pylori treatment, it is important to follow a specific diet to prevent stomach upset and loose motions. You should follow a bland diet that includes easily digestible foods. Here are some dietary recommendations: - Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day - Consume foods that are low in fat and fiber - Include foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet) - Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated - Avoid spicy, greasy, and fried foods - Limit or avoid dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol - Avoid eating outside or in places where food hygiene may be compromised

I'm going through some digestive issues and could really use your advice. My bowel movements aren't regular, but when they are, they're pretty loose. I've been taking medication, and that seems to help with the consistency, but then I get these gas problems. Interestingly, these gas issues seem to ease up after I've had a bowel movement. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Could this be some side effect of the medication, or is there something else at play here?
-It sounds like you're experiencing irregular bowel movements, with loose stools when your digestion is regular and gas buildup. It's good that the medication helps with this, but the gas issue seems to clear up after using the restroom. You might want to

I've been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and I'm currently taking the prescribed medication. I'm a bit confused and worried because I was diagnosed just by the doctor looking into my throat. Is that normal for an LPR diagnosis? My symptoms include frequent coughing, a lot of saliva, and irritation in my throat. I'm particularly concerned about the redness in my throat. Is that a common symptom of LPR? How long does it usually take for my throat to heal from this condition? The doctor advised me to take RABESEC D SR once daily for 20 days, but I'm still feeling anxious about all this. Also, is it okay to take Gaviscon Peppermint? I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm quite concerned about my health.
That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.
