Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I feel extreme and sharp stomach pain on the right side. I also have constipation and chills. I have had these symptoms for three days now.

I have just had urinalysis. I have the reports. Kindly give your opinion.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Such pain can be due to acidity or constipation. Because as you mentioned, you are constipated, so there is bowel obstruction and formation of gases. That is causing all this pain. I would suggest you attach your reports. I will check and let you know further.

I suggest you take the following medication:

1) Tablet Meftal Spas (Dicyclomine 10 mg and Mefenamic acid 250 mg), take one tab after meal for pain.

2) Syrup Lactulose. Take one tablespoon once before sleeping. It will help you with constipation.

Drink lots of water and eat fruits such as banana and papaya, which will make stool soft, and you will have a normal stool.

Are you able to pass gases? Is pain in the upper abdomen or lower?

Please let me know and attach the reports for further help.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
