Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Cramps In An Elderly Person

My 68 year old wife is experiencing cramping in her stomach area. I took her temperature using two different oral thermometers Her temperature on one was 95.6, and on the other it was 96.5. She is also experiencing chills. Any ideas? Thank you. James Pagones

Sounds like she may have an infection, you can have an infection without fever, getting only chills. I recommend you take her to the emergency room for evaluation
