What Causes Sharp Pain In Stomach And Severe Headache?

I ve been having really bad sharp pains in my stomach and keep having headaches to the point where I m about to cry it s so uncomfortable. About a month ago they diagnosed me with a UTI but I got medication for that and should be cleared, could I have something else wrong with me?

Dear Patient,

It sounds like you may have stomach infection. Is there any history of eating out or eating possible bad food in recent past? If yes, then I can say little more surely that you may have stomach infection.

You have taken antibiotics for UTI about a month ago, so they might not be able to cover you for the recent infection.

Do you have fever? Headache may be associated with fever. Also, stomach infections are very notorious for being associated with headaches. So I would not advise you to take headache as a different malady. When the stomach infection will resolve, headache will disappear automatically.

I do not know what medicines you took for UTI, but i would suggest taking Norflox 400 mg 2 times a day for 5 days. If the symtoms are not resolved, you might need to go for a complete blood test (CBC). Avoid this medicine if you are allergic to fluoroquinolones group of medicines. Furthermore, avoid eating out for a while and take diet that is easy for you to digest.

I hope this helps. Wishing you good health. Take care. Thank you for choosing us to help you.

Best regards,
Dr. Viraj Shah
