Posted on Thu, 26 May 2016
Question: hi
I am experiencing frequent upper abdominal pain for last two days. it appears to be related with gastroenteritis. This pain has reoccurred after 20 days when i experienced it earlier. I was given injections and treated for gastroenteritis followed by medicines Like Dortis DS. The ultrasound reports have ruled out presence of GB/kidney stones. the abnormality mentioned in the report is Fatty liver.
Would like to know your views on what care do i need to take for avoiding such situation..
