HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if no clinical symptoms are there and just abdominal distention then this is nothing to worry, some time this could be due to flatulence, you can try "Tab Omeprazole 40 mg and Tab Domperidone 30 mg once in day" if distention remains as it is then sonography can be done, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
