Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain On The Left Side?
My daughter had abdominal pain in the upper left side and up into her shoulder with what she said are gas pains. She had mono a few months ago. As far as I know she doesn’t have a fever. She said she probably drank too much soda today. This is the second time she has told me she has suffered from these symptoms in a couple weeks. I’m worried about her spleen. What could this be?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The presentation of narrated symptoms suggest that there is spleen enlargement from previous mono infection and the left shoulder pain is supportive of the same. I recommend to undertake a CT scan of abdomen & pelvis with basic lab tests to fix the issue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
