Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation And Pain In The Abdomen

Hi, I have a burning pain and slight numbness in my upper right abdomen area (below right breast) mostly after sitting. I also have some occasional bloating feeling, gas (flatulating) and diarrhea (which just started today). I have had the sitting numbness with pain for over a month. I take a lot of supplements, vitamins, fish oil, etc... I do not drink alcohol (except on rare occasions.)

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive.
I would also advise you not to eat food from outside to avoid any fresh intestinal infections. If need be, I would advise to get an ultrasound abdomen done to rule out any gall stone disease. Till that I would prescribe you with some proton pump inhibitor and a probiotic for a symptomatic relief. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
