Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query,
Most likely you are having Gastroentritis with Gastritis due to indigestion. Gut flora is the complex community of microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of humans. The intestinal microflora is a complex ecosystem containing over 400 bacterial species. Anaerobes outnumber facultative anaerobes. The flora is sparse in the stomach and upper intestine, but luxuriant in the lower bowel. After food poisoning episodes, toxins released by bacteria destroys this flora of gut and lead to various problems with digestive system like indigestion, Gas formation and increased acidity.
Your right upper abdomen pain is very likely attributed to increased acid formation and indigestion.
Yes, you should go to the emergency care for a preliminary check up,As pain is there in right upper abdomen,Get a ultra sound abdomen done there to rule out other conditions like Gall bladder pathology.
As of now you can take any over counter Probiotic and Tab Pantoprazole 40 mg stat, This will provide you some symptomatic relief.
