I have been prescribed hinguvachaadi choornam today, with water two times daily , for intestinal gas. Will this medicine help with that also? I do not have diarrhea nor constipation. But I have had this bloating and gas syndrome after antibiotic course for 10 days. The last course of antibiotic on 9th Nov. My right side of abdomen is very stiff and full and makes it difficult to breathe deeply only on the right side.Please help
Does Hinguvachadi Choornam initially aggravates symptoms before making it better? I have taken this for 2 days and have followed the same diet but there is slight increase in symptoms.
Hi, depends on the condition. In some people, it may worsen gastritis (very rarely). If it was given for treating hyperacidity and gastritis and if it is worsening the symptoms, better to stop it.
