Suggest Treatment For Belly Button Pain

Hi there. I have a question. I have a pain in my belly button and slightly to the right of my belly button. It s much worse if I touch it. Feels a little swollen. Almost feels like my intestines are swollen or something. Sometimes I feel this same pain in my lower, right quadron and it is usually due to drinking milk. I haven t had milk lately and this pain is not in the usual place. Any ideas of what it could be? Should I see my doctor? Worried it might be a hernia or something.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The pain in and around the belly button in the abdominal wall may be due to infected umbilical granuloma. Get checked by a Surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Secondly the pain in the right side of the abdomen getting increased with milk, indicates intolerance to milk proteins and you have to stop the milk and the milk products.
Also get checked with :
Blood, urine and stool.
Endoscopy of the stomach and colon.
CT scan of the abdomen as it is better diagnostic tool than ultrasonography.
