Suggest Treatment For Sickness In The Stomach
Hello Doctor, I m a 28 yr old man. Last week, i had some problem passing the gas... & after 1-2 days, I had a mild stomach pain on left side.... I visited one hospital & got the medicine for the same(PANTADOC 1/2hr before the meal, else CYCLOPAM after meal-2 times a day)..... Yesterday, I got some burning sensations at the back on the top of my left hip which continued for almost 1 hr..... Suspecting something in the stomach, I d done the Ultrasound scan for full abdomen which gave NORMAL RESULTS..... I don t drink, no smoking, normal food (mostly Veg), Staying in a PG (sometimes get spicy food but I try to avoid it or eat less) Still I feel some burning sensations. Could there be some kind of infection in stomach ? Are there any tests apart from Ultrasound which can reveal any infection ? PLease help me as I m worried about this !!!

Hello,
* Usually looks intestine infection through some sort of bug in the intestine.
* Nothing to be much worried about, but follow simple measures at present
- consume more liquids as boiled water, lemon juice, homemade fresh pulps, organic fresh fruits
- continue current medications
- discuss the need for GI specific antibiotic as Rifaximin or else with your treating consultant
- according to the progress of the condition, you may get lab tests for infection as complete blood counts, serum Widal test and stool microscopy if at all needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
