High Blood Amylase Level, Low Platelet Count, Severe Stomach Pain. Was Treated For H.Pylori, Stomach Acid, Amoeba. Treatment?
Young man 22 years old in Kenya has high blood amylase level 232, and low platelet count 120,000. Has been experiencing what he considers severe stomach pain. Only a few spoons of food and he can't eat more. Mostly just drinking tea with milk (chai) at this point. His stomach was checked out with a scope and everything was found normal. He has been on a treatment for H. Pylori, before that high stomach acid, and before that for ameba. However the pain and his condition seem to be getting worse.

dear welcome to HCM ....
if the pain is not subsiding,then repeat S.Amylase ,as this rise may be due to acute pancreatitis ...also go for an abdominal U/S .....to exclude biliary diseases...
treatment of acute pancreatitis is nothing per oral,i/v fluids,and antibiotics....consult a gastroentrologst if still not improve...
