So that picture does for sure show that? It just looked very odd to me. My symptoms are pain and tenderness and nausea. Unfortunately I can’t take NSAIDs I had the gastric bypass.
Brief Answer:
Follow up.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you,
As pain and tenderness is there it could be suggestive of active infection.
Appropriate antibiotic therapy would be given for the same and to get relief in pain small doses of Tramadol 37.5 mg can be taken for the time being.
Surgical removal by endoscopy is treatment of choice.
Hope I answer your query well,
Do feel free to follow up.
