I have pain in my right side. I had the flu this last week. I get these sharp pains two or three times a day for the last couple of days. I was wondering if it had to do with my appendix, but after reading that the pain would be center around the belly button. I don t think it is that. If it keeps persisting I will have to go in.
Hi. Thanks for your query. History of pain in right abdomen 2 to 3 times a day, past history of flu noted. This can be due to intestinal infection. I would advise you to take a 5-day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic and symptomatic medicines like anti-spasmodic. See the results. If alright, nothing further needs to be done. If the problem persists, get the following investigations done
