Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain While Having Antibiotics For Cellulitis

Hi! I was biten by ~30 Mosquitos while in Maui 3 weeks ago. About a dozen got infected & I got a staph infection that turned into cellulitis. Both of my feet were swollen & black n' blue. After 7 days of antibiotics and papain killers, the swelling is gone. However, I've had severe abdominal pain. Could this be related?
