Do Abdominal Cramps Need Immediate Attention?
I just returned from a week in Mexico and started with diarrhea and stomach cramps. Am concerned I could of contracted a parasite of some sort. The stomach cramps feel like someone is twisting my intestines. The diarrhea has subsided. Just retired to a different city and trying to find an internist. Should I seek immediate attention?
