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.
My 14 y/o son has complained of upper abd pain for the past 5 days. The pain is in the middle (not either side) and he describes it as dull most of the time but sometimes sharp. He has had normal BMs, slightly more gas than usual, isn t feeling like eating. He is able to make it hurt by pressing in that same area. He is healthy, no medical conditions or medicines.
