Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Detailed evaluation is required including an ultrasound scan.
We have to rule out possible causes like renal colic and pancreatitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
