Lower Abdominal Cramping. No Loss Of Apetite. Took Mylanta, Pepto Bismol. What Could It Be?
Hi - I have some cramping in the lower abdomen - I thought I had a stomach virus (I had one about 3 weeks ago) but this seems a little different. The last time I had no appetite. Now I have an appetite but some cramping - used some Mylanta yesterday and Pepto Bismol - Just wondering if it could be anything else that I need to worry about.

HI WELCOME TO HCM.
Most of the infections related to the stomach relieve on its own.
1.You just need good hydration with electrolytes .you can take oral rehydration salt for this.
THE SYMPTOMS WILL USUALLY GO IN ABOUT TWO TO THREE DAYS.
IF YOU HAVE FEVER ,ABDOMINAL PAIN AND VOMITING WHICH IS SEVERE ,YOU WILL NEED ANTIBIOTIC COVERAGE AND BLOOD TESTS..KINDLY CONSULT A PHYSICIAN FOR CLINCAL EXAMINATION IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST..
