Could The Swelling And Bloating In The Abdomen Be Due To Injury?

Hi. The bloating can be due to codeine or due to an internal injury. Ct scan of the abdomen is needed as this is the only investigation to prove or disprove an internal injury. The treatment may be Conservative at the moment as you do not have acute symptoms. If there is bloating, pain, vomiting or black stools , you may need an exploratory laparoscopy or laparotomy for diagnosis and treatment .
