Is Abdominal Pain, Diarrhea And Vomiting, Signs Of Diverticulitis?

Needs Medical attention as soon as possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Noted the history about your boyfriend and understood the concerns. Since, the pain is severe and has a fever with chills means there is an infection which need a proper clinical evaluation, examination and supportive investigations as soon as possible.It has already been 7 important hours.
Since, vomiting has already started means he may go into dehydration and associated complications as he has diarrhea too; may need intravenous injections, fluids and electrolyte replacement. If the vomiting does not stop the oral medications also will become ineffective as these will be thrown out.
You can give him the following:
PPI like Omeprazole. Antispasmodic for pain relief. Most of the medications needed are prescription based hence it is best to take him to the Emergency care/ ER or nearby hospital as the facility is available and so.
