Suggest treatment for abdominal pain post gallbladder removal
Patient: my dad recently got his gall bladder removved...hes having pretty bad pains in his stomach and also we are most concerned about he has little read bumps that just popped up on his face and they look like theve been bleeding but they havent and they dont itch or hurt. What could this be? Doctor: Hi and welcome to HCM, Nothing to worry.   There is usually minimal pain associated with this operation. The abdomen will be sore as well as the small incision sites.  It will disappear on its own. When you are discharged home you will be given a pain medication to take if necessary. The first few days you may want to take the pain medication so that you will be more comfortable. As you become more active the amount of pain medication needed should decrease quickly. Bumps could be due to some infection, can be treated easily with meds.  Thanks for writing into us.  Wish you speedy recovery
