Suggest Medication For Extreme Stomach Pain Due To Diarrhea
My girlfriend is experiencing extreme pain in her stomach and in her back. It is an all-over pain in her midsection. She is being stubborn about seeking medical advice. She had diarrhea all day, and it finally stopped when she took two Imodium. After a while, her pains returned and she is now in the bathroom screaming in pain. I have no idea what to do. She has had diarrhea since yesterday morning. She is 26 and 120 lbs, non-smoker, active, with no known food allergies.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your girlfriend have symptoms of extreme stomach pain due to diarrhea which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which is a type of viral infection which is leading to electrolyte imbalance in body. It could be due to poor digestion and food intolerance as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you take proper rest. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of fever whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You should take plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should do tepid sponging as well. You can take paracetamol along with antacids/ proton pump inhibitors. Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages and hot and spicy food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
