Detailed Answer:
Hello

Your USG findings suggests mild probe tenderness in RIF.
It is generally a non-specific benign finding.
It may be due to colitis etc.You are empirically prescribed right antibiotics.
Your findings also need clinical correlation.
Symptoms are expected to improve with antibiotics,if symptoms persists then you may need repeat ultrasound.
At present,I suggest to take antibiotics only.

Other findings are normal.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome

Take Care
