Dr. Evans Prieston answered

Specializes in Pharmacology

Belly Pain: G.I. Pain can come from sources. One must always rule out appendicitis, gall bladder disease, or an obstruction. If your pain is a burring pain, you may try ranitidine or Famotidine for a day or two. If you do not experience relief, waste no time in consulting with your physician.
