Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in hcm.

Pain on upper part of abdomen on both sides may be due to acid peptic disease, liver disease, billiary tract, and intestine.

If you dont mind please give the details of pain :
1. Severity of the pain that is mild moderate or severe. Duration of the episode of pain. Any aggravating or relieving factor
2. Any relation with food intake
3. Any other associated symptoms like jaundice or problem in passing stool or fever

Please give me the above details regarding the pain. So that I can narrow down the possibilities and then accordingly advise for tests or medicines.

Wishing him a good health.
