Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Colitis
Question: I WAS JUST DISCHG FROM HOSP. WITH COLITIS AND IAM 25WKS PREG. THE PAIN RETURNED AND I AM BACK IN HOSP. I WAS GIVEN JUST COLACE AT DISCHG. NO PAIN MEDS, ANTIBIOTICS OR ANTI IFLAM. DRUGS AND I AM VERY TIRED AND SICK OF THE PAIN. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THINGS MOVING BEFORE I AM SICKER?
Brief Answer:
Probiotics and pain killers
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As I'm sure you know, not all antibiotics can be given while you are pregnant. You can take probiotics instead which will balance the gut flora without lasting side effects. If you have had a course of antibiotics already in the hospital then without knowing the details about the type of infection it's not right to prescribe antibiotics.
For the pain you can take paracetamol or drotavarine. Drink plenty of water to wash out the bacteria. However, if your symptoms don't improve then antibiotics are needed. A stool examination should show the type of infection.
