Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have pain on my right side just below my rib cage. I also have a lot of gas which causes me to burp because I have a very acidic stomach . But this is the first time that I have ever had strong pain on my right side. I did have this pain a few days ago but it only lasted a few seconds. Today the pain is not going away. Any idea what could be causing this pain?
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
It may be due to gas and indigestion, or may be this is a liver pain. I will prefer to suggest you Syrup Gaviscon 2TSF 30min before meals and Omeprazole40mg before breakfast.
This should resolve the issue. If not, consult a Gastroentrologist for proper investigation and follow up.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
DR. MUHAMMAD M. HANIF
