Suggest Treatment For Pain In My Right Upper Side Of My Stomach

I was drinking everyday all day hard alcohol for about 4 monthes. I stopped because I was feeling pain in my right upper side of my stomch. I had a few withdraws but nothing too severe. I am not yelloe nor are my eyes. I am just really scared. I feel full after I barely eat. Will the swelling go down in my stomch if I stay completly sober? how long before I do not feel so uncomfortable after I eat?

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

At the outset, I would advise you to have absolute NO to alcohol and smoking if you do. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a CBC, an LFT to see the status of liver function, a serum amylase and lipase to rule out a pancreatitis, and if need be an endoscopic evaluation of your stomach and intestines to rule out a gastric/peptic ulcer. An ultrasound would be a must considering the pain in the right upper abdomen to rule out any gall stone disease or a liver pathology due to alcoholism. Till then I would advise you for a proton pump inhibitor and an anti spasmodic drug for a symptomatic relief only. Further management would depend on the clinical assessment by your treating doctor, and the investigation reports.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
