Suggest Medication For Lower Abdominal Pain With Diarrhea

Hey, my husband has got loose motions and he suffered a severe pain in his lower abdomen for a long time in the middle of the night! What should I do? I gave him a zintac as I was running out of Norflex - TZ, please suggest what to do if it happens again!

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to either infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.

Presenting with such symptoms, I usually treat my patients with:
1. Tablet Pantoprazole + Domperidone twice daily (to be taken half an hour before food)
2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily (to be taken after food).
3. Lactobacillus preparations.
4. Antibiotics like Ofloxacin+ Ornidazole preparations, OR based on culture & sensitivity reports to control the causative organism.
5. Oral Rehydration Solution (O.R.S) for maintaining the hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body.
6. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.
7. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.

If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Gastroenterologist.
Certain investigations like complete blood count, estimation of serum electrolytes, stool examination & Ultrasound scan of abdomen & Pelvis will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause.

Wishing him a good health.
Take care.
