Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Pain in the right side just above the stomach usually is due to Gastritis. But would like to know few more things to help you better.

1. Your Dietary habits? Regular or irregular
2. Consumption of liquids like water, cold drinks, tea or coffee?
3. Do you smoke or consume alcohol?
4. Do you have home cooked food or hotel food?
5. Any other associated symptoms along with stomach ache?
6. Are you on any medications?

For the time being you can follow these instructions which will provide you interim relief:
1. Consume plenty of fluids like water, fruit juices at regular intervals
2. Avoid oily and spicy food
3. Avoid excess tea or coffee consumption
4. Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, if you do
5. Take Gelusil syp 2tsp in 50ml of water three times a day half an hour before food.

Hope to receive the details at the earliest.

Regards.

Same probabalility

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the details.

Ask your mom to follow the instructions given in my last reply. I still assume it to be Gastritis. Let her follow it for 15 days and observe for any abdominal pain.

If the pain still persists then she might require to undergo an Ultrasound scan of the abdomen to rule out any other causes.

Keep me updated regarding the developments.
