Good Morning Doctor, I have been suffering from GERD ( diagnosed by doctor) from last many years and taking continuous treatment from allopathy, homeopathy and even ayurvedic also but not getting permanent relief . I take home made food regularly without oil and spices. I do exercise regularly. Despite of all these, I have to take SOMPRAZ L capsule regularly. Doctors have conducted many tests , such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, USG and many more but nothing can be diagnosed. They are asking for CT Scan of whole abdomen ( AIG, Hyderabad) . Would it be last test? Can SOMPRAZ - L be taken regularly? Kindly suggest best remedy to cure . Still I feel stomach like balloon, burping, spasm, burning sensation in from mouth to stomach. Kindly advise good medicine and its best treatment in India.

Ans: Become gluten and Caesin free on your dietary discipline which mean avoid Milkabd milk related products and Wheat and Wheat related producers, and give it a go for two months if it makes any difference in your symptoms. GERD is clearly food discipline, the way you eat food and stress factors and how you are digesting what comes out of the interactions with world

Hello Dr. i am having Stomach Ache, Bloating Acid Reflux, GERD due to tuberculosis medicines taken 12 years back. i have taken may kind of medications but nothing work and all seems temporary solutions. Because of this i am always feeling weak and like no nutrients to the body> Kindly provide some solution to it

Ans: It is very unlikely that medicines taken 12 years ago are responsible for your symptoms. Have you had your B!2 levels checked. Have you had a sonography to rule out gall stones. May also need to undergo an Endoscopy.
Avoid coffee, chocolates, nuts , oily food.

Hi my name is arun, i am suffering from GERD like related issues from last 6 years and my throat ear pains sometime and my tip of tongue gets tingling issue and i generate lots of gas. I dont have stomach pain or any other issue. i am taking PPI for last 5 years, should i stop that?

Ans: PPI is not good on a long term.
Please regulate your diet and meal time.
Always have food until your stomach is 1/3rd full. Which means you must not go for second helping and your first helping should be portion controlled. Have a mid day and mid evening snack

I am 68 year old person retired from govt service. I experience occasional minor pain in my left sidee of the stomach since last 10 years which has increased slightly more since last 4 years. When I lie to left side the pain increases, not unberable but disturbing.I showed to a physician who advised Omez 20 twice a day for 15 days which gave me good relief but again reappeared after a month or so. I was advised by Doctor to continue whenever I get similar pain. Now a days the pain has spread towards left back also and also experience while bending the body front or side ways. Again the pain is not unbearable. I showed to another doctor who advised Razo 20 for 10 days . Whenever medicine is discontinued after a gap of 3-4 days pain reappears. I take lot of water (4 litres per day), less of spices since last 4 years to avoid further complications as spicy food causes more pain to me. I have not consulted any specialist so far thinking I should get relief. Now I have to visit UK and will be out of the country for almost 6 months. My request is to suggest suitable medicine and duration of medication and any suggestions for type of food I should take.Thanking you.

Ans: Please get an USG upper abdomen to rule out Gall bladder problem particularly stones. Also avoid spicy food. Have timely meals, definitely dinner before 6/6.30 pm
Avoid heavy animal protein at dinner meal

Kiit Kalinga university me btech biotechnology me registration ho gya hai 75000 registration fees bhi jma ho chuki hai lekin cbse ka result ab aaya hai marks 60% aur pcb me 50+ hai ayesa na ho ki registration reject ho jaye kya admission ho jayega

Ans: Hi Nidhi,
greetings.
According to the prospectus, you are not eligible for admission to KIIT for the B.Tech in Biotechnology program.
The basic requirement for B.Tech and M.Tech in Biotechnology is that you must pass 10+2 or an equivalent exam with at least 60% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology/Biotechnology combined.

Since you have only achieved 50%, I recommend considering other courses such as Nursing or Pharmacy instead of Biotechnology.

Hello sir.Could you pls suggest best colleges for pharmacy sciences in Punjab? I will be very thankful to you

Ans: Hi,

Punjab is not a district; it is a state. To gain admission into an undergraduate (UG) program, you must either write an entrance exam or go through the state selection board. Given this context, it is challenging to provide specific advice.

If you are interested in pursuing pharmacy, visit the website of the respective college to find information about the Standards of Instruction for Pharmacy (SIF) through the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). The institution may have shared important details about their programs. You can choose colleges based on their infrastructure.

Don’t focus solely on placements. If you have the right skills, you will naturally secure a placement. However, do not stop at completing your UG; you should also aim to pursue a postgraduate (PG) program, as it will provide you with more exposure.

If financial constraints prevent you from pursuing PG studies, consider entering pharma marketing after completing your UG. There are plenty of opportunities to excel in marketing.

If you would like get more information, please come to me with a selected list of colleges, and I will be able to assist you further.

My son was born in Maharashtra, and has a Birth-certificate of Maharashtra, but we are permanent residents of Delhi. Is my son eligible to get its benefit in terms of local reservation in MHTCET-2025/

Ans: Hi Rajiv,
As your son born in Maharashtra, you cannot claim a domicile certificate from Maharashtra. To be eligible for a domicile certificate, one needs to have resided in the state for the last 15 years. Therefore, having only a birth certificate is not sufficient. I hope I have answered your question.

Sir, I got retired on 30-Jun-24 after attaining the age of 58. I do not have any further contribution to PF. I would like to know if PF gives interest for next 3 years. In other words, when I withdraw PF at the age of 61 in Jun-2027, would PF have paid interest for 3 years from Jul-24 to Jun-27.

Ans: If no contributions are made for more than three years after retirement, the account becomes inoperative.
It stops earning interest.
The existing balance remains safe.
