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.
What Causes Pain On The Right Side Of The Abdomen?
Hi I have pain in my right side. Like a stabbing pain. Nausea hot and cold feeling sick. Have appendix out. Also very bloated the pain goes through to my back. I use suppositorys to go to the toilet as I get constipated however recently I have used them without washing my hands first.
Right sided pain has multiple causes like cholecystitis, gastritis, bowel problems. If you are having fever along with pain then possibility is of cholecystitis which is gall bladder inflammation. It can also cause shoulder pain especially on deep breathing. You ll need ultrasound abdomen to confirm this. Other possibility is of gastritis and acidity problem, especially if fever is not there.
For this you should avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can get prescribed tab Pantoprazole 40 mg before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks from local doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Sagar Makode
