<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I was admitted to hospital on Monday with stomach pains history of oesophogitis but blood tests and x rays were clear. Still have upper abdominal pain different area to usual oesophogitis pain and now showing signs of chest infection and water infection. Could it all linked? I cant take cranberry for water infection as it would irritate my stomach, cant get much fluid or food down... What would be the best course of action?  <response>: Hi, Yes there can be a linkage between chest diseases and abdominal symptoms. As blood tests and x-rays are normal you do not have to worry at all. For the upper GI infections you can take a coating agent like sucralfate suspension. Do not take any juices as they could cause irritation to the upper GI tract. I would suggest plenty of water, high fiber diet, chest physiotherapy that is deep breathing exercises and mild antacids like sucralfate. Regards
