Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain
My BF is having upper stomach pain. He says it s a achy pain. Doesn t hurt to touch. Took 2 tums, had BM & still has pain. It s not heart burn & his Dr told him to take Pepsid when he gets this. He s had this before & can t figure out what s causing it food wise. Any suggestions?

Hi,
If I have such patient in my clinic I would have gone for an ultrasound to rule out stone or infection in the gall bladder. The gall bladder is located at the center of upper abdomen.
For the time being, he can take antispasmodics like hyoscine, PPI like pantoprazole and the antacid gel. He is supposed to have a soft diet and avoid tea, coffee, spices, heavy and junk food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
