Brief Answer: Please, let her go back to the ER NOW Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about the pains your daughter is experiencing. Bleeding, fluid in the abdomen and pain constitute an emergency. She needs a thorough and complete medical evaluation and intervention. This can lead to rapid deterioration and death unless properly addressed. It would be best to make sure there is nothing terrible going on before she can return home. Advil may reduce the pain a little but does not address the cause of this problem. That is what needs to be done. Identify the problem and fix it otherwise it would not be very helpful administering pain medications. The cause of this may be something that needs surgical correction. It could be a ruptured organ, ectopic pregnancy, an organ with compromised blood supply, etc. the exact cause can only be established after doing a complete exam and more investigations. Hope this helps. I wish her well. Please, treat this as a matter of urgency. feel free to ask for clarifications or ore information if need be. Thanks. Dr. Ditah, MD.
