Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive. Also, I would advise you to avoid eating from outside if you do to avoid any intestinal infection creeping in from these. In case of a female patient (you did not mention your gender), I would also advise her for a clinical assessment by a gynecologist to rule out a PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) which might be responsible for the persistent abdominal pain. In addition, an abdominal ultrasound might be helpful in ruling out any other intro abdominal pathology responsible for the pain. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
