Suggest Treatment For Lower Abdomen Pain, Chills And Diarrhea

My husband is 54. Last night he had some pain in his lower abdomen and chills (no fever he is aware of), the chills subsided but the pain has remained and has now moved to more right lower quad. He has a hx of bowel resection for diverticulitis as well as bowel obstruction in past. I work in radiology and feel it may be appendicitis but he feels it is not. He read the symptoms online and since he has no loss of appetite or bloating, etc. he thinks it s not important to check out and it will pass. He does have bowel movements several times a day and today he had some diarrhea as well

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of lower abdomen pain, chills and diarrhea which seems to be due to disturbance of electrolytic balance of body due to excessive production of acid and it could be due to food intolerance, food allergy , bacterial or viral infection.

I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like anaspas ,ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide. You should take small quantity of food and avoid large intake at a single time. You should avoid intake of outside food.

Keep your bed with head on higher side. You should eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana. Take oral rehydrating solution as well. Take probioyics food like yogurt twice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
