HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your pain.

Your query is incomplete. What Abdominal symptom you have ? Kindly let me know that first.

But by looking at your previous queries I presume you are having Abdominal Pain with nausea ( Correct me if I am wrong ) . If thats right then I need more information on your problem.

1. Since how long you are having the pain?
2. Which part of the abdomen pains?
3. What is the character of pain? Burning /pricking /Sqeezing?
4. Is the pain continuous or intermittent?
5. How is your motions ( bowels )?
6. Any problem while passing urine ?

Kindly let me know these details .

Will be looking forward for your reply.

Brief Answer:
Observe for 2-3 days.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for the information. It seems like you are having Infection of gut ( Colitis or Enteritis ) . This infection can happen due to bacteria or virus .

Viral Infection doesn't need antibiotics . You just need to hydrate well by drinking plenty of water and fruit juices. But if its a bacterial infection you need to be started on Antibiotics.

My recommendation is to observe for 2-3 days and if the pain persists then go for an antibiotic course. You can use an anti spasmodic medication like Cyclopam for pain relief.

Avoid non veg food and oily food.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
