hello,
causes of abdominal pain are so many but you need to mention the area where the pain is more morning time pains are mostly associated with irritable bowel syndrome in which you either have diarrhea or constipation.I will give you some tips to give you symptomatic relief.
-Dont eat choclates or drink sodas
-drink hot tea or ginger ale
-drink plenty of water
-take a hot water bath
-lie down in supine position and flex your knees and hip
coming to the medical treatment if the pain is very severe then you need to consult gp so that they will investigate you accordingly and treat you.
For pain, take acetaminophen (Aspirin Free Anacin, Liquiprin, Panadol, Tylenol). Avoid NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Midol, Motrin), or naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan) because they can cause stomach irritation or bleeding.thank you for your query.Have a good health.

Hi, many thanks for the query!
You need to do certain investigations- USG (KUB), X-ray KUB, Sr. creatinine, Sr. Uric acid, Urine (Routine & Microscopy), Stool (Culture & Sensitivity).
Take Anti-spasmodics (like dicyclomine, drotaverine), Pain killers, antacids, Antibiotics as per stool report, with your doctor's opinion.
Consult your doctor before taking iodine/codeine.
Drink plenty of water (preferably ORS).
Also take pre- & pro-biotics as per your doctor's advice.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
