Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after a clinical examination of your abdomen, I would advise you for an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out calculi in the biliary tree and to know the status of the pancreas. I would also advise you for some blood tests like a CBC, blood glucose, KFT, LFT, a serum amylase and a serum lipase test, a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and routine urine test. Till then I would advise you to avoid any alcoholic beverages or smoking, and go for a proton pump inhibitor along with an anti spasmodic if need be for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
