Suggest Remedies For Stomach Discomfort Caused By A Fall
For the last 4 or so days I ve been having stomach discomfort like I ve been punched in the tummy. 10 days ago I fell down a flight of stairs but my stomach only started hurting a week ago. It s slightly bloated & I don t feel like eating. A hot water bottle provides some relief. It may just be a bug. What is your opinion?

HI.
This may or be a stomach bug.
You have a history of trauma over the abdomen although pain started later.
The best investigation in such cases is CT scan of the abdomen. There is possibility of an internal trauma of the intestines / mesentery, liver , spleen or so on. Hemoperitoneum , meaning collection of blood can cause such problems.
Exploratory Laparoscopy also helps a lot in diagnosis and treatment.
