Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Burning Pain In The Lower Abdomen
I m pretty good at identifying my body s organs after working in hospitals most of my life. I m having a burning pain intermittently on the left side of my abdomen lower than my ribs but higher than my intestines. I can t figure where this is coming from or if it s something over which I should consult my MD.

Hi,
It can be arising from spleen or may be intestinal but needs evaluation by a surgeon and if needed ultrasound or CT scan needs to be done. An erect X-ray abdomen may also be helpful. Meanwhile OTC analgesics like Acetaminophen or anti-spasmodic like Drotavarine may be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
