Suffering From Stomach Pains, Severe At Night, No Heartburn. Prescribed Zofram, Protonics. Solution?

I've been having stomach pains for the past 4 days that tend to exacerbate at night. It is not related to heartburn but it does hurt. I went to the hospital on the 3rd day since I had a lot of pain but nothing could be diagnosed. I was just prescribed zofram and protonics. Only thing that helps a little bit is taking a warm bath but shortly after the pain comes back.

Hi friend,

Thanks for your query.

The details are very sketchy and vague. I wish you had mentioned your age and gender; the exact area (above/below navel; right or left side of abdomen) where pain occurs; your bowel movements; nausea/vomiting, if any; urine problems if any; itching at the anus; passage of mucus or blood in stools; details of periods (if you are a female).

however, for the time being, you may take a deworming course and anti-amebic (such as Metronidazole) course x5days.

You may either revert back to me (AS PREMIUM QUERY, addressed personally to me) with all details; or, consult your treating doctor for re-examination; order relevant investigations such as, urine+stool examination and colonoscopy; and change in prescription, if required.
