HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, here looking to the given history and symptoms infection needs to be ruled out and for that stool needs to be sent for testing including routine blood test till then pain can only be managed with Dicyclomine tablet in differential diagnosis it could be case of colitis, and other intestinal pathologies all that needs to be differentiated hope this information helps.
