My boyfriend has extreme pain when he breathes in his upper right abdominal area. This is the third time this month and it started at around 7 pm last night and he went to the hospital last night at 1am. They told him they couldn’t find anything on the xrays or blood work. He woke up this morning and his pain is still extreme. Can you offer any insight please?
Hello Dear. I welcome you to icliniq. I feel very sorry for his pain. The causes of severe pain in upper part of the abdomen are gall bladder stones common bile duct stones-stones within the bile duct which drain bile (a yellow secretion) from gall bladder to small bowel peptic ulcers - ulcers within stomach and/or small bowel pancreatitis -inflammation of the pancreas a gland over the back of our abdomen. I think he already been advised some medications for that. But I just write here in case they are not given Cap Esomprazole 40 mg now and half hour before meals. Cap Tramodol 100 mg now. It may or may not be OTC. in case not available give him Cap celecoxib 100 mg now. Do not give any other painkillers because they may worsen pain of peptic ulcers if present. Syp Gaviscon 15 ml now and half hour after meals for 4 times in a day. If you want to provide more information about his pain I may suggest some investigations to rule out above possibilites. I hope the medicines will help him to control his pain.
