General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Discomfort in the left side with soreness & swelling is commonly due to Indigestion, IBS, lactulose intolerance, gastritis, diverticulitis.

Take antacids, PPI's one sos when needed to get relieve from pain. Take fiber rich food to avoid constipation. Stay away from addictions if any.

You are suggested to visit ER, get physically examined. Get blood tests, CT, USG, MRI, if required endoscopy done to detect the pathology causing the symptom.

Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
