Suggest Treatment For Lower Abdominal Pain And Diarrhea
My husband is 51. He has pain in the lower right side abdomen, that seems to be gradually getting worse. It is below and above the naval, and it looks like there is a little discoloration and a tiny bit of swelling above the naval on the right side below the ribs. He is vomiting blood and has had diarrhea for 2 - 3 days. We both had an intestinal flu or something about two weeks ago. Thank you,

Hi.
Thanks for your query for your husband.
History of stomach flu noted.
He has got diarrhea for 2 days now, Bleed in vomiting, pain in the abdomen at the level above and below naval and swelling and discoloration above naval.
All these symptoms suggest that there may be an intestinal infection.
Get him a 5-day course of an antibiotic, Metronidazole, probiotic, symptomatic and supportive.
