What Causes Pain In Right Upper Abdomen?
My 13 year old daughter has been experiencing pain in the upper right abdomen for one week. It started during a soccer game and we thought it was just a cramp. She experiences it now whenever walking or running right from the start of exercise, not after being fatigued. She is very physically fit and has high endurance. She also has experience heartburn several times this week. This is interfering with her physical activity. She says the pain can be quite severe.

Hi,
Such a pain in the right upper abdomen needs to be investigated by a clinical examination by a General Surgeon and an ultrasonography . This may be due to Gall bladder problem like cholecystitis, liver abscess, hepatitis and so on.
Get investigated Get started on the right treatment in the form of an antibiotic and supportive medicines.
Your Daughter should stop playing and take rest till the diagnosis is made and treatment constituted well.

HI
Well come to HCM
If there is history of heart burn then the symptoms of pain in upper abdomen area may be due to the hyperacidity, if I would be her doctor then I would treat this condition with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day for three weeks, hope this information helps.
