Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
You have not mentioned your gender; or, the duration of the cramps.
If you are a female, these cramps may be due to impending periods or, to vaginal infection or uterus abnormalities.
If you are a male, then, the cramps may be due to acute constipation, intestinal infection or worm infestation.
Tylenol will NOT help in cramps. Take anti-spasmodics such as, dicyclamine or drotavarine tablets.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE all doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
Fond regards and have a nice day
