<s>[INST] My lower right abdomen hurts but not so bad I need to go to the hospital and I took gas-x just in case it may be gas and it did not help. I then tested McBurney s point and it hurt after I pressed that for a couple minutes very badly. But I am also experiencing pain on my lower left abdomen as well. Do you think I should go to a doctor or the hospital? [/INST] Hi.IT is good that you have a great understanding. Pain in both the sides of the lower abdomen is suggestive of colitis. Get investigations done. This may be a part of IBS. Get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and antispasmodic tablets along with probiotics, multivitamins. You will start feeling alright the same day and you should be totally alright by 5 th day. If the problem persists , you have to get colonoscopy and other investigations done under the care of a Gastroenterologist. </s>
