Having Pain In Abdomen Like A Sharp Nagging Stab. Given Antibiotics. Suggest Another Treatment?
hello Dr Samuel, I am 47yrs old, I have had this pain on my left side of my abdomen, level with my belly button but more to the outer area of my abdomen? its a sharp nagging stab that will sit there for about 10seconds then it will go away and then come back. I have had this pain off and on for over a year now, I have gone to my GP, and he just describes antibiotics, however the pain is still there after I have finished the medication? are you able to give me some other explanation? Thankyou

Hi,
From history it seems that you might having chronic
gastro-intestinal infection giving rise to abdominal colic.
Go for stool test to know weather it is bacterial or amebic.
You may take a course of Ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination medicine course.
It will give you relief.
Take antispasmodic like Dicyclomine tablet for pain as and when required.
Avoid fried and junk food.
Ok and take care.
