For gallbladder stone pain, your husband can take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen (under doctor‚Äôs supervision). Surgery might be necessary if the pain recurs or becomes severe.

I'm having these gas issues and it's causing some chest pain, especially on the left side of my chest. I've been taking medicine for it, but still, the pain comes and goes, like when I bend or sometimes when I take a deep breath. Could all of this be just because of gas?

That could be Gastritis or GERD once check with Gastroenterologist .

I'm trying to figure out what the medicine department at a hospital like AIIMS or RML is all about. What do they specialize in exactly? If someone has a stomach ache, is it okay for them to go to the medicine department?

I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my chest, specifically in the middle area, and it gets worse when I bend down, walk, or move forward. It's been happening since yesterday morning. Even sleeping is tough I feel it when I try to lie down, and it's really painful when I sneeze. I've been on medication for epigastric and antral ulcers for the past five days. Could this chest pain be related to that, or might it be something else? I'm really worried about what's going on.

Tab pan d ,orally ,once a day and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 14 days is advised to the patient.Avoid spicy foods, smoking and alcohol cessation is advised to the patient.
