Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pain in particular position or movement suggests toward muscular pain. For that anti-inflammatory drug is prescribed, for example Ibuprofen. Hot compress is beneficial. Avoid movement that causes pain. Take rest for few days. Avoid strenuous activities for few days. If no improvement then USG abdomen scan needs to be done.
Consult a physician for examination with keeping all this in mind.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Parth Goswami
