Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Safe To Continue Ibuprofen Intake For Stomach Pain And Nausea?
I ve been having severe stomach pains and mild nausea for almost 24 hours now and it doesn t seem to be going anywhere. I noticed it hurts more a little to the left side below my ribs. I ate the same as the rest of my family last night shortly before the symptoms started to arise, but there are 7 of us and none of them are sick. I m also gluten intolerant but the symptoms dont seem to quite match up. Antacids aren t working but ibuprofen has eased it enough so I don t feel like I m dying. Should I be worried / how long should I wait to see a doctor?
Hello. Do you have any heartburn issues? if yes in would suggest stopping the ibuprofen. instead try taking lansoprazole 20 mg at least half an hour before a meal. if still doesn't work get a lipase test in blood done.
