Brief Answer:
Probably an ulcer!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. I have reviewed your information and it is suggestive of a possible gastritis/ulcer problem. I will recommend that get treated first as gastritis with omeprazole. if this fails to respond, then let the doctor consider doing an ultrasound and endoscopy to look for other causes like gall bladder disease and infection. What medication did he give to treat the virus?

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Dicyclomine for my stomach and ondansetron for nausea. Neither one of these work. I'm still nautious and my stomach still hurts and is growling like I'm starving to death
