Hello I am a 39 years old male having stomach burning sensation for last 3 months on and off. 3 months back I had a viral fever that lasted for 2 days. After that I had anorexia for 7 days and then burning sensation started. I took 2 weeks course of Sompraz L then it was completely recovered. But again after an interval of 8-10 days I use to feel burning sensation that is gone after taking PPI. other than epigastric burning sensation I dnt have any tenderness or pain over epigastrium, stool colour is normal . What should I do and what may be the cause? Please suggest

Usually we suggest 4 weeks of ppi therapy
1 week is very less
Even if you have erosions or ulcers
Thats the duration needed to heal
So get an endoscopy first
