Do Mosquito Bites Cause Severe Abdominal Pain And Bloating?
Hi i have been suffering from svere abdominal pain and bloating since our holiday to Greece last August. Could the mosquito bites have anything to do with it?? I have had gastroscopy/colonoscopy and all gynae tests are clear but it is still constant pain/bloating
Hi. Since you have undergone through all the tests, Malaria due to mosquito bites can be a reason for severe abdominal pain and bloating. This is called ' Algid Malaria'' and seem in falciparum type of malaria, Get malaria tests by slide and antigen method, if positive get treated accordingly.
Another reasons for bloating and pain can be gastroenteritis , typhoid, anxiety,food and beverage allergy to a particular stuff. watch for these too. Get a second opinion from other Doctor if need be.
