Bump Near Rib Cage Area, Abdominal Pain, Taken Medication. What Could It Be?

Hi, about a week back, i had a small irritating sensation close to the bottom of right rib area, when i was feeling the area i did kind of feel a small bump, i left it alone of course, but i was having terrible abdorminal pains for the last 2 days and visited the medic, who prescribed some medicines for gastritise, and recommended i come see him after a week.... i have taken 2 days worth of doses of the medicine and dont feel any better, and now i seem to feel small bumbs in my stomach , many of them to be precise on the middle / upper stomach area, close to the left side of the ribs and there is a stiff sensation and when i run my fingers on the bumps it hurts slightly, it is not visible but can feel it when pressing down.... what could it be, do i need to get new medication or should i contunie for 01week like the doc prescribed and then later consult.... pls for your advise as i am really paranoid about this and cant seem to concentrate on anything else

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! From your history, it is not possible to know whether the bumps you are feeling is in the parieties or inside the abdomen. I would suggest you to consult a general surgeon early, who with clinical examination may advise you for some blood tests and an ultrasound abdomen for diagnosing your condition. You should not wait for all these seven days.
Wishing you an early recovery.
