I Have A Sharp Pain In My Side. I Think
Question: I have a sharp pain in my side. I think it's gas because it sort of moves and I can hear a rumbling in my stomach that comes with gas, but the pain is sharp and I've had it for 2 days.
Brief Answer:
It could be due to Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description,it looks like infection of the Gut.
It is due to intake of contaminated food or water.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Rifaximine 200mg along with Anti spasmodic tablet containing Dicyclomine and a Pre and probiotic Capsule to my patients with similar complaints.
If there is no response, Ultrasound abdomen has to be done.
Avoid spicy food and carbonated drinks.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
Nothing to worry.It will come down.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery.
Regards
