Hi, My mother was suffering from Abdomen TB. She got operated 5 months back. After operation, she was given AKT4 tablet for 4 months and then shifted on AKT3 & Neurobion tablets. But now she is facing problem of continuous acidity and vomitting feel. What could be the reason that after reducing one tablet also acidity increasing? Is there any need of using anti acidity tablet along with AKT3? Please advice.
Hi. Thanks for your concern for your Mother. The acidity and nausea (feeling vomiting) after / during the course of the medicines for TB can cause such a problem. Nothing to worry; get an upper GI Endoscopy done to confirm that there is no ulcer so to see what is the problems. I would suggest Her the following: Santa 12 hourly. Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach. Add Risperidone or such motility regulators. Soft bland diet. No aerated colas / soda/ Chat Doctor. Early dinner. No late nights. Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)Lying in a reclining positional around after dinner. Think of the factors which increased the present problem, HERD, anxiety and try to avoid. If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines.
