Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Well it could be due to Kidney stone or due to stones in Gall Bladder ( Cholelithiasis ) or due to Indigestion.

I recommend you wait and observe for 2 more days and if the pain persists then get Ultrasound Abdomen scan done and revert back with reports.

Avoid Spicy food and Non veg food and drink plenty of water.

Hope this information was useful to you.
