question: Hi doctor, My grandmother is 68 years old. She has a habit of drinking almost every evening, but not too much. For the past three days, she has had this acute pain in her back area right below her shoulders and has spread to the front of her chest. She has lost appetite and has not eaten much in the past three days. Our local physician said that it is due to some sort of stomach irritation from the increase in her white blood cell count. The doctor prescribed some medication, but it does not seem to be of much help as her pain is still there and increasing sometimes. I have listed the medications. Zerodol-P, Fexokast, Rabidoc-LS and Antacid gel. I would be very grateful for some medical advice.
