Question: I am a 64 yr old women with a history of fibromyalgia, GERD, and some other things . Recently have had a URI/ sinusitis and am taking AMOX Tr_k CLV 875_125 tabs 2x a day. As I was recovering I came down with a stomach h virus that the chair at school (i' m a school nurse) which included severe nausea, then an episode of vomiting. I have been extremely lethargic. I did have a T of 100.9. This began about 36 + hrs ago. A throbbing pain localized in the upper R mid quAdrant near the area of the gall bladder. I had mine removed over 15 yrs ago. The pain throbs anywhere between several seconds to a minute or more. Should I be concerned about this. Other meds I take are dexilant Dr 60 mg 1x per d. Duloxetine HCL 60 mg 1 x q d, nutrition Sr mg tab 3 x ad. Diazepam 1 mg at bedtime, Lorraine 10 q d + clonazepam. My mouth is dry and tastes funny. Tinny?
Brief Answer:
Yes, need to get ultrasound if pain persists.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Throbbing pain in the area of gallbladder indicates a possible inflammatory condition.
2. If deep breaths exacerbates this condition, possible excessive cough induced spasm can be thought of.
3. I would think more of a renal condition, like renal stone, leading to spasmodic pain. Anti-spasmodics should reduce the pain. If it persists, Ultrasound abdomen is necessary to identify, rule out and evaluate for other causes.
4. yes, it is concerning as it cannot be gastritis, or gall bladder condition. If pain persists, you have to get an ultrasound done.
5. Dry mouth and funny taste can be rarely seen in amox clv treatment. Not to worry. complete the course. Additionally take steam inhalation and salt water gargling twice daily.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
