Need Treatment For Abdominal Pain

I'm 44 years old. I have abdominal pain every 3rd day. Doctor did my indoscopy and ultra sound but there is no problem. The doctor gave me rentadil 150 mg before sleep and pantoprazole but it doesn't help me.
My pain is upper abdominal. It happens often at night when I wake up in midnight and sometimes early morning. Please help me..

Hi.
Thanks for your query and really a great history:::
Pain in upper abdomen every 3rd day - only at night.
This is a very very classical finding and can lead to ''Algid Malaria'' ( Parks' Textbook)
I would advise to get admitted in the hospital , get investigated for malaria.
I am sure you will be found to have falciparum malaria.
You need to be treated for malaria unless proved otherwise.

There is no other condition where one can get this classical pain in abdomen ''every third day'' that too at night.
Request the Doctor and the staff to get the slide prepared when you have pain to get a possible positive finding.
You need parenteral therapy against malaria and guard against a deadly complication.
