Why Am I Having Right-sided Abdominal Pain That Is Worsening Over Time Along With Nausea?
Abdominal pain
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Acute appendicitis is unlikely though retrocecal appendicitis can present even with epigastric pain so the position/ area involving the pain alone is not important. With appendicitis, there is associated guarding , rebound tenderness and rigidity. The pain is intense. There is a high white cell count, too. The abdomen needs to be examined, in any case.
Based on your description , the cause for the pain needs to be determined. Ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis, urinalysis and stool routine exam plus exam for ova and parasites should be advised. Viral hepatitis profile, basic metabolic panel including liver function tests should also be done to look for the cause.
For now if the pain is vague and not intense with no symptoms of intestinal obstruction then antispasmodic like alverine citrate in combination with simethicone can be given to look for improvement, in consultation with your doctor.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
