General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.

The most probable reasons for persistent abdominal pain for 3 months are:
-Intestinal obstruction; the causes can be intestinal tuberculosis, adhesions, kinking,
-Lymph node enlargement
-Diverticulitis
-Appendicitis or infection of any part of the abdomen.
-and many more.
Important is to get to the diagnosis::
I would advise:
Routine tests of blood, urine, stool.
Ultrasonography to start with
CT scan - contrast enhanced
Enteroclysis ( barium studies if required)
Special blood tests as per clinical diagnosis done by your Gastroenterologist.

The treatment will solely depend upon a perfect diagnosis to get the relief, which can be medical or surgical.
