I also went to doctor he said its a mascular pain but even after one and half week still have the same problem. Please Advice.
Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a physical examination of your abdomen, I would advise you for an ultrasound abdomen, a blood complete blood count, a blood sugar, a liver function test, a serum amylase and serum lipase and also a urine and stool routine and microscopic examination.  These investigations would be required to rule out any urine/stool infection, gall stones, and any inflammation in liver and pancreas which could give rise to such symptoms. Till the reports come in, I would advise you for a proton pump inhibitor, an anti-spasmodic and a probiotic for symptomatic relief. 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. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
