Hello and welcome to HCM,
The symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhea, body ache and headache suggest a gastrointestinal infection.
Norflox TZ is a broad spectrum antibiotic which is effective against a large number of aerobic and anaerobic infections.
It is important to know the type of abdominal pain that you are experiencing.
Is the pain spasmodic or a vague dull aching pain.
In case the pain is spasmodic, anti-spasmodics are required.
Dicyclomine is a common anti-spasmodic used for spasmodic type of pain.
If the pain is dull aching, you can use painkiller diclofenac for the pain.

Thanks and take care
