General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, you should get an x-ray done to see its contents and bony relations. For stomach cramps I would advise you to take anti acidity medicine like pantoprazole or ranitidine with antacids for 3 to 5 days.

Here, I would like further information about the lump like its size, is it constant or increasing in size since you have seen it? How's it's consistency, is it compressible or solid mass? Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to guide you even better.

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

Regards,
Dr. BR Hudda
