Brief Answer:
Diverticulitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to health care magic.

Diverticulitis presents with nausea and abdominal pain which can be treated appropriately by an antispasmodic drug and an antibiotic.

Tab Buscopan 10mg thrice daily after food will be helpful.

You can take Tab Cipro 500 mg twice daily after food for 5 days.

Few tips suggested to reduce the pain:

1. Take low fiber diet.
2. Avoid spicy foods.
3. Water intake of at least 3-4 liters per day.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Please get back if I can assist you further.

Thanks.
