**Response:**
**Answer:**
You're asking an excellent question about diagnosing stomach infections. Let me clarify:
1. **About USG Abdomen:**
- Ultrasound (USG) of the abdomen is **not** the ideal test for stomach infections
- It primarily examines solid organs (liver, kidneys, gallbladder) and can't visualize the stomach wall or lining well
2. **Better Diagnostic Options:**
- **Stool tests** (for bacterial/viral/parasitic infections)
- **Blood tests** (CBC, CRP for infection markers)
- **Endoscopy** (if persistent symptoms) - this is the gold standard
- **Breath tests** (for H. pylori bacteria)
3. **Symptoms That Suggest Stomach Infection:**
- Persistent nausea/vomiting
- Abdominal pain/cramping
- Diarrhea (especially if bloody)
- Fever with digestive symptoms
- Loss of appetite
**Next Steps:**
- Track your symptoms (duration, severity, triggers)
- Maintain hydration if having diarrhea/vomiting
- Avoid self-medication with antibiotics
**When to Seek Care:**
⚠️ If symptoms last >48 hours or include:
- High fever (>101°F)
- Blood in stool/vomit
- Severe dehydration (dizziness, low urine output)
**Consultation:**
For proper evaluation and testing recommendations, please contact me on **WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two**. We can discuss your specific symptoms and arrange appropriate investigati

Hi,
No. A USG abdomen won't give you an idea about a stomach infection. Your symptoms will.
Do consult if required or unresolved
