Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would have admitted you for 24 hours for observation, with IV fluids, and nil orally for complete rest to the GI tract for proper healing. Further management would get influenced by your recovery in the first 24 hours.

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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
