How To Cure Moderate Dull Pain In The Abdomen?

I'm a normally healthy, 19 year old male - 5'7" tall and 220lb. I have been experiencing moderate, dull pain in my abdomen for approximately a week - this pain is generally focused on the lower part of my abdomen. However, if I press on the centre of my upper abdomen (directly below my ribcage), the pain is quite intense. I have experienced nausea (though just one instance of vomiting) and diarrhea (type 6/7 on the Bristol Stool Chart). I underwent removal of my gallbladder approximately two months ago which was followed by abnormal LFTs though these showed significant improvement at last test.

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

You seem to be having gastritis with gastroenteritis (food poisioning). Though gastroenteritis is a self limiting condition, you need to take plenty of fluids to make for the lost fluid and also take electrolyte solution like WHO-ORS to maintain electrolyte imbalance.

If it dosen't improves with this then you need to take acourse of antibiotics like ofloxacin and ornidazole. Also take some ppi tablets like pantaprazole or ornidazole with domperidone for the gastritis and nausea.

Regards,
