General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
An elderly male of 61 years old, having diabetes gets a pain in the left power abdomen and sweating from mid-abdomen to mid-thigh.
The probable cause can be colitis or enteritis, uncontrolled diabetes and possibly diabetic neuropathy.
I would advise you to get your blood sugar checked as also other tests like CBC, urea, creatinine; stool and urine.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.

Get a course of the antibiotics and metronidazole, continue anti-diabetic treatment so as to keep diabetes under control.

Further treatment will depend upon the clinical check-up by a Doctor, reports of the investigations.
Take only home-made fresh food, boiled cooled water.
