Suggest Remedy To Relieve Pain In Abdomen

Hi I'm a 26 year old Female and for the past week now i have been having a lot of upper and lower abdominal pains in my stomach. My upper and lower stomach is sore, has sharp pains, and feels like I have been punched in the stomach. I am also feeling very very gassy burping more often and farting as well. I've never had these issues therefore I don't know what to do. The other night i had so much pain I couldnt sleep. Only after taking alka seltzer I got sleep for a few hrs then had to take some more alka seltzer. I went to the doctors and she didnt seem to think there was nothing wrong and told me to wait another week! This pain is not going away and I am very worried. What over the counter drugs should i take? should i wait another week before going bsck to my doctor? I really needyour help. Thank you so much!

HI.
In such a case you should take another opinion of another Doctor as you have pain and all other symtoms.
I would suggest you the following.

I would advise all such patients the following:
Routine blood (CBC, blood sugar, Creatinine) , urine and stool tests.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.

I trial with a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole for 5 days.
Activated charcoal tablets, Prebiotics and probiotics, multivitamins.
Avoid foods and beverages (like coca cola and soda), which you must have observed by this time that cause more gas problem.
Eat less, walk around after food, sleep early, get up early , moderate exercises.
Avoid stress and anxiety at any cost. This is in your hands to decide.

If you have gall bladder stones, you will need to get operated to remove the gall bladder.

Once the diagnosis has been made, you can certainly get a targeted treatment to get a cure.
