General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your concerns.
Noted your history of pain in the abdomen, inability to evacuate the bowel and are a known case of diverticulitis.
Amoxicillin is not the drug of choice in such a condition.
You may need an antibiotic active against intestinal pathogens like Ofloxacin or cefixime, metronidazole and pro and prebiotics.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:Get a clinical evaluation and examination by a general surgeon to have a clinical diagnosis.
To undergo the tests like CT scan, of blood, urine and stool.
And then only to proceed for proper treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
Consultation needs charges and the set up cost money hence the charges.
I find this answer helpful
