Why am I experiencing stomach pain after taking medications?

Patient's Query

I have been experiencing nausea and diarrhoea since last Thursday. I consulted a doctor on Saturday, and he prescribed Esomeprazole for 7 days along with probiotics for 3 days (three times daily). By Tuesday, I felt somewhat better, but not completely recovered. So, I visited another doctor. He did not review my previous prescription and gave me new medications: Dompan (to be taken before food), Maxicef (after food), and G-Blac. Since I had already completed a course of probiotics, I did not take G-Blac. However, after starting Dompan and Maxicef, I began experiencing stomach pain. The pain does not occur after eating food, but it starts after taking these medicines. From the next day onward, the stomach pain continued. Additionally, I have noticed small bumps appearing around my eyes, and I am unsure whether this is related to the new medications.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

It's possible that the stomach pain you're experiencing could be a side effect of the new medications, particularly Dompan and Maxicef. Sometimes, certain medications can irritate the stomach lining, causing discomfort. As for the small bumps around your eyes, it's essential to consider if they appeared after starting the new meds, as they could be a reaction as well. I would recommend stopping Dompan and Maxicef for now and contacting gastroenterologist  to discuss these symptoms. In the meantime, try to stay hydrated and stick to bland, easy-to-digest foods.

Is pain in left rib cage is serious UTI symptom?

Abdominal pain can have many causes, including issues with the stomach, intestines, or other organs. It could be due to gas, constipation, infections, or something more serious like appendicitis. If needed, your doctor may recommend an abdominal ultrasound to identify the cause. The treatment will depend on the results, so it's important to follow your doctor's advice.

What food is best is ice cream, tea cakes, fibre flakes ok if I have chronic ibs

Male | 42

If you are suffering from chronic IBS, the best diet to go for would be easy foods on your tummy. Ice cream, tea cakes, and fiber flakes may be questionable choices. Ice cream might be the cause of your stomachache, and tea cakes are too sweet. On the other hand, fiber flakes could be a high-fiber one, which can trigger IBS symptoms such as bloating and cramps and therefore be a reason for the worsening of the condition. You should make it a point to eat unseasoned foods like rice, cooked vegetables, and lean proteins to assist in calming your stomach.

Is there more urine in jaundice or fatty liver

Male | 18

Jaundice is a disease of the liver with the surface of a patient's skin turning yellow because a substance, bilirubin, is produced. This may result in frequent urination because the body is trying to eliminate the excess of bilirubin through urine. Fatty liver is also sometimes the cause of increased urination, mainly, through the deposition or inflammation of the liver. Consuming enough water and a healthy, balanced diet can regulate these issues.
