I have burning pain in my left abdomin, just under the rib cage. The sensation comes and goes in waves. I feel bloated even though I v e been to the bathroom. It started a week ago. I had a fever and felt nausious that evening. Thought I had the flu. Things improved over the next couple of days but now its back without the fever. But I m afffraid to eat anything because of the pain. Any idea what could be the cause?
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to eat from outside like fried, oily, or fast food, as intestinal infections could creep in through these and also in some the intestinal mucosa is sensitive to some components of this food resulting in such symptoms of yours. I would advise you to get your stool tested for ova and cyst, and get it treated if positive. Apart from this, you should go for more of roughage and enough liquids in your diet. Also, a regular exercise might help you to a great extent. Till then, you could go for a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor.
