What Causes Abdominal Pain, Nausea, Chills And Low Grade Fever?

Posted on Tue, 26 Jul 2016

Question: I am suffering from abdominal pain. It started 24 hours ago, it started out with almost my entire abdomen but now it has moved to my left side. I get sudden cramps that are very painful. I am nauseous, have a low grade fever and chills. I know that I suffer from diverticulosis and have had to take antibiotics before. I have never had chills and fever with it before.
