Hi ! Do you consume alcoholic drinks ? In that case even if all the scan results are normal, you can discuss with your doctor for a serum lipase and amylase estimatioin to rule out pancreatitis. Also, a repeat ultrasound after 24 hrs may be helpful. In the meantime, you can continue to go with pantoprazole as advised your doctor, and also a probiotic after consulting him. Also go for bland diet, and avoid spicy and fried food. Get a routine stool test for ova and cyst.
Wishing you an early recovery.
