What Does Abdominal Pain On The Left Side Indicate?

I have been having moderate to severe pain in my left abdomen almost constantly for over 12 hours. It cramps up, and I feel like my organs are clenching. The pain and cramps become worse after eating, but I have not thrown up. I may have a slight fever and it hurts to walk. No pain medication has helped as of now. Any recommendations on what this is and how to treat it?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
You seem to have gastritis .. viral,bacterial. The symptoms of acidity accompany with fever.
Pill of proton pump inhibiter like Ranitidin over the counter will reduce abdominal symptoms.
Take rest, Eat light ..fresh.. nonspicy food in small sevings. Drink lot of water. Paracetamol pill with glass of milk... (room temprature) would take care of fever.
Incase of no responce(within 3 days.. viral usually responds in 3-5 days)/if symptoms aggravate..
You need antibiotic .. see your family physician.
Thanks.
