Question : Last night I was suffering from abdominal pain. What do I do?
Brief Answer:
Possible Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir
I can certainly understand your concern
I have worked through your attached query in detail
Pain abdomen if sudden in onset could point to either Infection or blocked blood supply to intestine.
Initially a short course of oral antibiotics and analgesics will help.
Incase if symptoms don't improve in 72 hours it's advisable to consider an ultrasound abdomen at the earliest.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications and tests to improve your symptoms.
Post your further queries if any
Thank you
