Pain in upper right abdomen below ribs
Dear Sir/mam, My father has a pain when touched in the upper right abdomen (near edge of ribs). It feels like there is swelling. Also, he has acidity and indigestion and constipation. But the physician near my home has given him digestive tonic so constipation is less often now. Earlier due to acidity his entire upper abdomen use to pain when touched. But now the pain is only in upper right portion. Sir due to containment zone, I'm unable to take him to specialist doctor. Please tell us what it can be. Can there be some problem with liver? What should I further do. Thankyou.
