What Causes Abdominal Pain?

I have pains in the abdomen. I have visited my doctor 3 times. First he prescribed co-amoxiclav 1000mg. After 1 week no change but I was stupid and drank alcohol on 2 occasions. Then he prescribed the same drug for another 7 days but 625 gms. Again I drank on one occasion and did not get a cure. On returning to the doctoon br he has prescribed tergecef for 7 days 200 mg. I AM DRINKING WATER ONLY! now it is 3 days with no change. Am I expecting too much too soon?

No, you are not expecting too much too soon.
You can get an early relief, but need a proper diagnosis.
Tegercef 200 twice daily is good for intestinal infections. You may need additional metronidazole, anti-spasmodics and supportive medicines.
As it is taking so late for a recovery I would advise such patients to go for investigaions of blood related to typhoid and so on, urine and stool tests, Ultrasonography of abdomen to rule out something like appendicitis and other causes.
