Unable to walk around due to pain. Will enzoflam help for temporary reduction of pain till I see a doctor. Had this from earlier prescription from 1 year back. Pls help
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Enzoflam is an NSAID painkiller medication, and NSAIDs can cause gastric irritation. Your symptoms appear to be indicative of a gastroenteritis (probably due to guardians or amoebas), and hence I feel that taking Enzoflam could probably worsen the gastritis. There are other pain-relieving medication which are more gastric-friendly and would be more appropriate in this situation. Even if you would like to take Enzoflam, it's better to take it along with an anti-ulcer medication like Sanitizing (Santa) - available over-the-counter. Also, avoid spicy and oily foods and take a bland diet.  Chat Doctor.  Best wishes,
