I have had a pain in my stomach for 5 days now. mostly in the center &left side. could it be a virus? or a stomach ulcer? what should i do?

Abdominal pain: You can try done over the counter antacids... Reduce alcohol, caffeine, smoking, spicy foods.... If no improvement, see your doctor

See doc : I suggest seeing primary care doctor. May be Gastritis or ulcer-treated with Zantac, nexium (esomeprazole) and avoidance of certain foods. Could be constipation. Pancreas issue. Point is there are a lot of organs in the area and u should have someone do a physical exam and get more info from u.

Examination: 5 days of abdominal pain calls for an examination by a physician. There are several possible causes depending on where in the abdomen the discomfort is and what the physical findings show. The physician will order the appropriate tests.
