General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
History of cholecystectomy noted.
The swollen belly along with severe pain in abdomen has to be taken as intestinal obstruction unless proved otherwise.
I would advise the following::
Standing X-ray of the abdomen along with Blood- complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch,
Urine- routine,microscopy, culture and sensitivity ( before start of antibiotic)
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Colonoscopy is also very important.
