Hello Anitha,

Your mother will certainly require a one to one medical consultation. Get her to see a doctor. The causes of pain on the upper left side of the abdomen in your mother could be one of several.

She could be having a left sided pneumonia or chest infection, it could be a left kidney infection or kidney stone, it could be that her stomach ulcer is perforated and she is leaking acid into her abdomen.

There is no room to delay. Call a doctor now.

Thanks for using the online doctor forum here at abdopain.com and we wish your grand mother a quick recovery.
