Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain Despite Taking Tylenol
My son has just returned home after 4+ days in the hospital with pancreatitis. The doctors there let him go with only 3 doses of pain meds and I can t get him into our family physician for a couple of days. The pharmacist suggested extra strength tylenol which he is taking. He still seems to be in a lot of pain. What can I do to help him with this?
Hi Pancreatitis cause lots of pain and as your doctor had already given painkillers. just give them as advised. Give him semi solid or liquid diet as hard diet will cause pain more. As pancreas secrets enzymes which helps in digestion and if you will give solid diet it has to work more .
