History of cholecystectomy noted. The swollen belly along with severe pain in abdomen has to be taken as intestinal obstruction unless proved otherwise. I would advise the following:: Standing X-ray of the abdomen along with Blood-complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch, Urine-routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity before start of antibioticUltrasonography of abdomen. Colonoscopy is also very important.
