What Causes Severe Pain In The Stomach After Taking Percocet?
My 82 year old husband is taking percocet for severe back pain. 2 days. This am he has a severe stomach pain and looks a little bloated to me. He did have a bowl movement yesterday afternoon. What do I do for him? He also has a lung disease hypersensative pneumenitis and is on 6 liters of oxygen.

Hello,
It is not related to Percocet. We have to rule out possible causes like renal stones and abdominal colic.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief. It is better to consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan to make a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
