What Does Flank Pain On The Left Side Indicate?
Good evening, I am experiencing skin pain in the left flank area. Painful to the touch, mottled skin appearance. Odd headache. The roof of my mouth feels like there are blisters, but none are apparent. The inside of my nostrils seems to have open sores. The inside of my ears are itchy. Thank you for your time. Karen

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to an infection or metabolic disorder. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- Thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction. A brain MRI may be needed, considering your symptoms. You should discuss with your physician on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
