I get stomach pain whenever I eat. What could be the reason?

Question

Hello doctor,

Last week, I took an Albendazole tablet for worms. This week, I had a burger. From yesterday, my stomach is upset. If I eat any food, my stomach begins to hurt. I am unable to eat anything, and this is causing me to feel bloated. My urine appears dark yellow and my lips are very dry. Please guide me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This appears to be a case of acidity and gastritis, precipitated by oily and spicy food. You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet.
Take a walk after your meal, instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals.
Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Include lots of green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol drinking habits if any.
You can have tablet Pan DSR (combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone) 40 mg before breakfast once a day for a week. If not adequately relieved, you can add syrup Sucral-O (combination of Sucralfate and Oxetacaine) or Gelusil (combination of Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, and Simethicone), two teaspoons three times a day for a week.
For immediate pain relief, you can have an antispasmodic like tab Dicyclomine 20 mg or Hyoscine 10 mg, whenever needed up to three times a day. This will resolve in 3-4 days time period.
Also, you need to drink plenty of water. Dry lips and dark yellow urine indicate dehydration.

Hope this helps. Get back if you have any more queries.
