Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain

My daughter, age 23 is having severe abdominal pain. These stabbing pains are lasting about 5 minutes. She went to the doctor yesterday, before these symptoms started and was diagnosed with a probable uti and prescribed antibiotics. There are stomach bugs running around our town right now.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your family physician, I would have advised your daughter for a urine routine/microscopic and culture sensitivity test before starting the antibiotic. Also a routine blood test like a complete blood count and a stool test for ova and cyst would be worthwhile, and treated if positive. If all the reports are inclusive, I would not hesitate to get her examined by a gynaecologist along with an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out any pelvic infection and pathology. Further management would depend on the findings of physical examination and results of related investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
