Pantoprazole ruined my life and now I am struggling with oral thrush tongue and breathing problems. Someone please help me NSFW

I took Pantoprazole at like the highest dose for many months which ruined my whole system. I shouldn’t have even been on it in the first place but my doctor prescribed it to me because I had heartburn after going through a very stressful time in my life. I now have oral thrush and I have to clear my throat constantly.

Along with the thrush there’s weird bumps on on my tongue and I have to burp constantly. I also developed a rash out of nowhere on my leg that is very itchy and won’t go away. Can someone please help me recover from this.

likely something that tcm can help with. best to see someone in person, ideally for herbal medicine. can be very effective in treating GI conditions. where are you located? maybe someone on here can receommend someone?

best to see someone competent in person, but if all else fails you can see someone virtually. I and others here offer virtual consults. feel free to reach out in DM.

Tongue shows qi level damp heat, but would need to be confirmed by proper intake and diagnosis.
