Brief Answer:
pain could be due to acidity, but let us also not overlook a kidney pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi, pain could be due to acidity, but let us also not overlook a kidney pain. It could be pain due to a stone.
I see you have taken something for acid relief. Did it help? You can take something like Omeprazole for 3-5 days, but it may not be a bad idea to get an abdominal sonography to rule out a stone if the pain does not reduce with Omeprazole.
You can revert back to me with further queries.
Regards
