What Causes Abdominal Pain And Constipation?

I have a stomachache & constipation. I just got out of the E.R. last night with some viral infection that caused headache, high fever, chill, stomach ache & coughing. They gave me IV fluid & some pain med. & sent me home. I don t have fever now, but my body s still aching & now my stomach hurt, probably due to constipation. I m on a cough med. that the E.R. doctor s prescribed last night. Please help! My follow up appt. with my PCP is not until 8/1/17.
