I’ve been experiencing upper left quadrant pain for over 5 days, which worsens at the end of the day after my last meal and with sudden movements. The pain is sharp. I’ve had blood tests that came back normal, but no ultrasound was performed. What could be causing this pain and what should I do next?

I have COVID and was given antiviral medication, but every time I have taken it, I have thrown it up. Should I persevere with it or not? I have a fever, a cough, but not shortness of breath at the moment. I am located in Morley WA, and I am not sure how widespread COVID-19 is in my area. I have not used the antiviral or anything similar before, I am 60 years old, and I have mild asthma and am on blood pressure meds.

I had gastric bypass surgery 6 weeks ago and have been experiencing severe nausea from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed, difficulty keeping down liquids or small bites of food, and constant constipation despite being on multiple medications including Zofran, phenergan, reglan, a scopalimine patch, Senekot, dulcolax, and a stool softener. I recently added miralax to the mix but it hasn't helped. Could something be wrong due to the surgery, and how long can I go without a bowel movement before it becomes a concern?
