My wife has had upper right abdominal pain for the last few months. She had pneumonia last year and there is still some crackling when shes breathing. Her blood count is very low (11) and course of tablets have not improved her condition. Nobody can tell us what the problems are. She has had numerous blood tests, Chest X-rays and today had an ultrasound. All clear. Doctor does believe liver is inflamed. Pain is always there but severity of pain fluctuates. She has had some nausea, vomiting and generally a feeling of not being right
Hi ! The feeling of being not ok signifies that some infection is still persisting in your wives body, possibly the lungs. As such the description of your history suggests that the chest infection has not resolved completely. The cause of such a long-lasting infection could be a chronic infection like tuberculosis which may also lower the hemoglobin in the blood. Many times' tuberculosis is not diagnosed even after all investigations. The abdominal symptoms could also be due the same infection leading a sub acute intestinal obstruction which gets relieved of its own (extra pulmonary involvement). So I would suggest you to see a medical specialist at the earliest and get your wife re-investigated for her problem. Good luck.
