Brief Answer:
Get a MRCP and LFT done

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Common bile duct may not be causing all the symptoms you have mentioned.
But to confirm, you can get a MRCP and liver function test done.

You can also get an upper GI endoscopy done to rule out peptic ulcer disease.

Meanwhile continue taking pantocid.
Also take Ultracet twice a day and Syrup Mucaine 10 ml thrice a day.

I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
