Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sharp abdominal pain on right side of the body which seems to be due to IBS , indigestion , food allergy , appendicitis or kidney problem . It could be due to food intolerance at times. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done , ultrasound or endoscopy and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables . Drink plenty of water and fluids. Take multivitamins to booster immunity of body. Abdominal pain could be due to excessive suffering from fever and it could be due to stomach cramping. You should take a muscle relaxant as well. Also suggest you to get up slowly and do not lie down right after eating , eat small meals or snacks often, try not to skip meals.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
