Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would after a clinical assessment of your abdomen advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to know the status of your gall bladder and other organs of the abdomen. Local tenderness (pan on pressure) points to inflammation of the internal layer of the abdomen near the affected organ, which has to be dealt with at the earliest. Therefore, I would suggest you to visit the ER of your nearest hospital to have a clinical assessment and related investigations for further management. Till then, you could go for an anti spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

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.
