Suggest treatment for pain in the lower abdomen
Patient: Hello Doctor, I recently suffered from Jaundice (Hepatitis A) was under treatment from 26 August 2014 to 4 September 2014. The SGPT count was increased to 10.25 now it has reduced to 2.8(tested on 13 September 2014). I rejoined my office from 11 September 2014. Although I feel I am recovered from Jaundice but from 14 September 2014 I am experiencing pains in my right side of abdominal below ribs and the pain extends till back. Now the intensity of pain has increased. One more point to note is the pain is not continues, the pain occurs only when I make movements especially after driving bike Is it due to lack of rest or is it some other problem? Doctor: It could be related to your previous hepatitis. Although hepatitis A doesn't lead to chronicity, but incomplete recovery or reinfection cannot be ruled out. You should get a ct scan of abdomen to check around the hepatobiliary system as well as repeat all the liver function tests required for evaluation. But foremost thing, do not delay and visit your doctor. Certain pain relievers like drotaverine for liver related pain and hyoscine for gall bladder related pain are only symptomatic treatmennts. You should have a complete work up done.
