Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am writing this in regards to my father, who is complaining of mild pain on the right side of the stomach for four days. Though the pain is not severe it is continuous. Today the pain is reduced compared to yesterday but the pain is there. He is on a semi-solid diet and his bowel movement is also fine. Please suggest some medications based on the description. I do not want to take a chance of taking him to a diagnostic center for tests in the pandemics as he is 72 yrs old with diabetes, asthma, and heart issues and is on medication for all these issues. If you can advise some medicines would be really helpful.
I hope you can understand my condition and help me.
Thanks in advance.
Hello
Welcome to icliniq.com,
With context to your father's complaints, it seems he may be suffering from gastritis (constant stomach pain, as you have mentioned) or diabetic gastropathy (if he has associated nausea, early satiety, bloating) as he is diabetic . I am mentioning both as cannot ask direct questions to you. Start him on PPI.
