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.

How do I know if my stomach pain is serious?
Usual causes of stomach pain are acidity, indigestion, gall stones, intestinal disorders, kidney stones and infections. Most of them can be mild and be treated at home under doctor's guidance but sometimes, any of them can cause sudden sharp pain with intense vomiting and diarrhea. So, it is better to consult with doctor and take treatment as early as possible.

I've been having some issues with gas and it's really starting to worry me. So, I had h pylori and gastritis, and after getting treatment, my flatulence reduced a lot and even the smell got better. But now, a few days after finishing the treatment, I'm back to having a lot of smelly gas. I saw a gastro doctor who prescribed rifagut 550 for 10 days and a probiotic for 5 days, and that helped with the smell somewhat, but I'm still farting a lot, especially in the evenings and at night. It's really affecting my social life. On top of that, I'm going to the bathroom about 12 times a day. I've been taking nexpro L for the past one and a half months as my doctor advised, but it's not helping. What can I do to get rid of this farting problem? Id really appreciate any advice.
