Suggest Medication For Abdominal Pain & Diarrhea

Hello, today I woke up at around 5 am from painfull stomach pain. The stomach pain was really painful like my intestines were being twisted, there was noises, I couldn't move the pain was so bad...during the every pain I was also short of breath. The pains came every 5 or 10 mins for about 3 mins everytime, when I woke up and off my bed at 8:15 am to go toilet and do a number two I felt that could be the reason why my belly was so painful and I felt dizzy and weak from the moment I got off my bed. I think I had diarrhea but my poop wasn't very watery and I also had quite a lot of gas the day before and today. I felt a bit better after I went toilet but I still felt like I had more poop inside but it wasn't coming out, but the pain was less, In the afternoon about 2pm I felt better there was still a little rumbling in my belly and I had a bit of a headache. Right now in the night the rumbelling, twirling, bloating, are back. I don't want it to be painfull again. There's a little pain right now. Please, what could this be?

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history, it seems like you had a kind of food poisoning specially if you had food from outside a day or two before starting of your symptoms. If I were your doctor, I would go for a stool routine test for ova and cyst along with a culture sensitivity test, and the treat the infection with appropriate antibiotics if positive. An addition of a proton pump inhibitor and an anti spasmodic would be worthwhile for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
