Burning sensation in stomach
I experience a burning sensation in my stomach along with abdominal pain. Drinking water makes me feel relived. This is the 4th time in 1 year that I'm facing this issue. The issue usually stays on for 1-2 weeks and I usually follow a bland diet of only curd rice along with Sucralfate suspension. The issue started for the 1st time when I was on anti-inflammatory drugs but for 2 last times, the issue happened without any reason. What should I do & which specialist should I go for consultation?

This can be gastritis induced by anti inflammatory drugs. Please consider undergoing an endoscopy and starting medication depending on the findings.

Hi you need evaluation. It's better to go ahead with a upper Gastroscopy to rule out ulceration / erosions and presence of H PYLORI infection.
