I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing acid reflux along with throat infection and abdominal pain. These symptoms can be uncomfortable and may need careful management.
Here are some steps you can take to help relieve your symptoms:
Medications: Proton pump inhibitors like Pentaloc (which reduces stomach acid production) can help manage acid reflux and protect your esophagus. However, this should be taken only under a doctor's prescription and guidance.
Dietary changes:
Hydration: Drink warm fluids like herbal teas (ginger or tulsi) which may soothe throat irritation.
Lifestyle:
For throat infection: Gargling with warm salt water can provide relief. If you have fever, severe pain, or difficulty swallowing, medical evaluation is important.
Since abdominal pain and throat infection alongside acid reflux can indicate an underlying infection or other conditions, it is important to consult a gastroenterologist or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist promptly for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.
If symptoms worsen or you experience severe pain, difficulty breathing, or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
