Suggest Treatment For Tenderness In The Stomach And Excessive Sweating

Hello, my mother has many health issues, andhas had since she was born with colitis. However, recently she has been getting periods of profusely sweating, followed by the chills, and her abdomen is severely tender to the touch. these hot flashes have been getting increasingly worse and now the bottom of her feet are even sweating. I mean, one minute she is dry, and the next she is soaking wet and has to change her clothes.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Oh, This may be a serious matter.
Colitis since childhood, and nor the profuse sweating, chills and severe tenderness in the abdomen are suggestive of a condition called septicemia and can be due to severe infection in the abdomen, related to the previous problem of colitis.
This may be in the form of Diverticulitis, perforation or anything which is an emergency.
I would advise you the following:
Take your Mother to the ER or the nearest hospital.
Do not give anything orally.
She needs to be clinically evaluated, investigated and treated.
She needs:
Tests of blood, urine and stool.
Standing X-ray of the abdomen for gas under diaphragm, intestinal obstruction.
CT scan of the abdomen

She will be started on medical management but be ready if emergency surgery is needed.

I hope this answer helps you and your Mother.
