Hello,
Your symptoms of reduced appetite, frequent burping, and loose stools may be related to medication-induced gastric irritation or a gastrointestinal infection.
Ketorol-DT (ketorolac) is a strong NSAID painkiller that can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers, and occasionally gastrointestinal bleeding. Its use is generally limited to a maximum of 5 days because of these risks.
Pantoprazole helps reduce stomach acid but does not treat all causes of diarrhoea. Diarrhoea can also occasionally occur as a medication side effect.
Since your appetite has been reduced for 5â6 days, further evaluation is advisable.
Next Steps
Consult a general physician to evaluate persistent appetite loss and diarrhoea. Avoid restarting Ketorol-DT without medical advice. Drink adequate fluids and use ORS to replace fluid and electrolyte losses. Eat small, easily digestible meals such as khichdi, rice, bananas, and curd if tolerated. Review all recent medications, including any antibiotics prescribed after dental surgery. If diarrhoea persists or worsens, your physician may recommend blood tests,
kidney function assessment, or stool investigations.
Health Tips
Avoid spicy, oily foods, excessive caffeine, and unnecessary painkillers until symptoms resolve. Do not combine multiple gastric medications without medical supervision. Seek medical attention if you develop severe abdominal pain, black or bloody stools, persistent vomiting, fever, dizziness, or reduced urine output. Although your normal urine output is reassuring, it does not completely exclude dehydration. Most mild gastrointestinal disturbances improve with appropriate care, but persistent loss of appetite should not be ignored. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
