Brief Answer: Antispasmodic will be helpful Detailed Answer: Namasthe Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Its quite common for adolescent to experience some for symptoms like nausea, colicky abdominal pain , emotional liablity, backache. Its part of Pre-menstrual syndrome. Ovulatory cycles are usually painful. I would suggest you the following which will definitely help her 1. Avoid Caffeine/carbonated beverages 2.Avoid Spicy Oily/oily food 3. Combination Of Mefanamic acid and antispasmodic like Hyoscine butyl bromide may help relieve her abdominal cramps. 4. Maintain good nutrition and adequate intake of water 5. For Nausea and Vomiting Zofran which is Ondansetaron an anti-emetic can be used. 6. Proton Pump inhibitor like Pantoprozole may be started now and continued through menses. Home remedies may not help truly. So the above medicines that I suggest will come with prescription only.
