[/INST] Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. I have read your history and understood your problem. History of hepatitis noted. Since you developed pain in abdomen after the hepatitis with burning sensation this is more likely to be due to gastritis or an ulcer. I would advise in such a case the following:To undergo upper GI Endoscopy to get an exact diagnosis. To get treated with:Sanitizing or Antacid gels 3 hourlySoft bland introduce the stress and anxiety as they are directly responsible for enhancement of the symptoms You should AVOID hot and spicy foods and carbonated Chat Doctor. Repeat the Endoscopy after 3 weeks to see the effects of the treatment. Also get your liver function tests to see whether hepatitis is under control or not. </s>
