May be due to an infection. Needs treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Pain in stomach and bloating is usually due to an infection of the gastrointestinal tract. And it usually is a viral infection in the start. May become secondarily infected, so treated with antibiotics prophylactically.
It may also be due to constipation (if you have any). Take plenty of water to revitalize your body. I suggest taking pedialyte. Take healthy diet. Avoid high fiber diets as it increases bloating. Keep a good physical activity to help improve early.
If I was your treating physician, I would have prescribed you Rifaximin for a period of 5 days,if not allergic to. Plus omeprazole before meals for a week. Take Nature Made Digestive Probiotic Advanced, 1 pair of capsules daily for a week. Take a prescription from your local physician where needed. Its all you need to do, and you will be alright. Don't take any pain medication. It will aggravate the pain.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
Regards!
