Hi Dr. Rynne. my stomach is so painful for 2 days now straight. pain started in the middle above the navel and goes down the lower abdomen. out of 10 the pain is over 10 and continous for 5 hours. I never have that pain ever since in my life. It stop when I sleep. the next day after my lunch started the pain again. There is a pain in the left side below the rib that feels like squezing down. please help me Dr. thank you. Daphne
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You need to get an ultrasound abdomen done to rule out if you have appendicitis. Do you have fever or vomiting associated? Any other symptoms you have? If you have appendicitis inflammation then antibiotics can be given along with routine blood check up might be necessary. Kindly get back to us with reports. left lower rib squeezing pain can be ruled out by ultrasound if it's splenomegaly or something. First let see your scanning report. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
