Hi.

Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Abdominal pain in upper abdomen, discomfort, stabbing sensation around belly button and near ribs can be due to the following reasons:
1) Gastritis.
2) Colitis.
3) Gallbladder and liver pathology.

Hence I would advise you the following:
Continue Pantocid.
Get stool and blood tested.
Upper GI Endoscopy.
CT scan of abdomen.
Colonoscopy if required.

Clinical evaluation and examination by a Gastroenterologist.
All this will lead to a proper diagnosis so that a proper management can be done as your case does not look to be simply dyspepsia.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
General Surgeon
