Should I Take Naproxen For Abdominal Pain, Constipation, Cold And Fever?
Hi, I am 23 and my doctors have been saying for the past month, how I am constipated, but they don't give me anything.
Yesterday, I decided to go and buy laxatives. It said to take 1 to 3, so I took 3. I also took a pill of naproxen about an hour later because my left abdomen has been hurting for the past 3 months, which is why the doctor thought I was constipated.
After, I took the laxatives at around 4 in the morning, I had a cold, sweat fever and I could barely walk, I fainted around 3 times before asking my parents for help.
I went to the bathroom and was there for like 5 minutes until all of the stool came out. It was really runny .. Will I be okay or should I go get checked?

Hello,
* Naproxen can be taken for abdomen pain with fever and cold, but it is suggested to take with antacid as Ranitidine or else to avoid gastric upset possibility.
* The runny stool is secondary to ingestion of laxative, and maintain hydration with plenty of liquids rather than rushing to hospital.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
