A member asked:

I had this left side of my lung sharp pain for about 2days.it comes whenever i eat or drink, what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You may: Have reflux or gastritis. Need to avoid certain foods eg spicy , greasy , acidic that will make pain worst. May need to take antacids or zantac (ranitidine) or the like . Get yourself checked out if you have not had your yearly check up . Your doctor may need to run some tests.
