What Are The Possible Treatments For Gallstones & Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

Hello,

I have been having pain in my upper abdomen for about a month. I saw a doctor, who suspected gallstones, but a sonogram didn't show any. My CBC is all in the normal range, except for lymphocytes, which are high. What should I turn my focus to, next?

Hello

Normal USG of abdomen exclude chances of gall bladder stones.
Pain may be due to some other reasons.
Besides routine blood investigations you may need proper clinical examination and history taking.
Upper abdominal pain may be due to acidity/reflux etc.
Empirically you can take proton pump inhibitor like tablet pantoprazole 40 mg half hour before breakfast in the morning for one month.
You may need upper GI endoscopy after evaluation.
You should consult gastro-enterologist for proper evaluation.

Get well soon.
Take Care
