What Causes Pain In Right Upper Quadrant Of The Abdomen?

my right upper abdomen, under and not including my breast hurts. In general it just feels like a fullness but there is no pain unless I push on this area. When I push on this area and also on my right side laterally my ribs hurt. it does not hurt when I push on my right upper back. I have not had any trauma to this area. I am imagining spleen enlargement although I have no reason to suspect this. I am otherwise healthy. This has been going on for 3-5 days. No problems breathing, no cough or cold.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

Bloating sensation on right upper abdomen can be due to gases getting accumulated in hepatic flexure of colon or just to say 'dyspepsia' /
gall bladder stones.

If I were your treating doctor ,I recommend,
-Take cap.omeprazole once in morning for 3-5 days.
-Avoid eating hot,fried,high fat content,junk food,alcohol and carbonated drinks.Dont eat hurriedly.
-Have a gap of atleast 3 hours between meals and going to bed.
-Keep your body weight within control by regular exercising.
-If the pain doesnot subside or increases ,get USG abdo and chest X ray done and visit to a surgeon will be necessary.

Hope this information helps.
Feel free to ask any more doubts.
