What Causes Severe Lower Abdominal Pain After Eating Despite Taking Advil?
I have sharp deep shooting pain on left side low back wrapping around to lower abdomen. Advil has helped pain but extremely painful after eating.. Has been on for 12 hours, super uncomfortable to sleep and lay down on either side,,only relief is sitting straight up
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe lower abdominal pain after eating despite taking Advil . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like food poisoning , food allergy , infection of digestive system , gas , stomach flu or colic . You should not ignore this as infection can spread to surroundings . You should take oral rehydration solution as well. I would suggest you to sips of water or other clear fluids on a very frequent basis. You should avoid solid foods for a few hours try small amounts of mild foods such as rice, applesauce and do not take foods or drinks caffeine , carbonated beverages , citrus and dairy products as these products further complicate the condition. If condition doesn't get better then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and get complete examination done. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ,analgesic and antacid .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
