Suggest Treatment For Fever And Lower Abdominal Pain
Hello, my husband has been experiancing lower abdominal pain for 2 days, he believed that it was due to not having a bowel movement. He took magnesium citraite , which helped his bowels, but the pain has not subsided. He has now reached to point as to vomit. Im conflicted to take him to a normal family practice DR or straight to the ER. His temp is slightly elevated to 99.6.

Hello welcome to the health care magic
Fever with abdominal pain suggest towards enteritis like infection
If needed Antibiotic course prescribed for five days
Constipation can lead pain but here fever also present so infection or inflammation seems most likely
If needed blood culture can be done for diagnosis of typhoid if needed
USG scan also done for primary work up
If diarrhea also present than stool examination done
Take care
Avoid excess spicy foods
Drink more water
Hope this will help you
Consult nearby physician for examination and discuss your case
