Suggest Treatment For Severe Upper Abdominal Cramps
I have been having upper abdominal cramping off and on. It started three days ago after I took an antibiotic to prevent infection after a dentist relieved an abcsessed tooth. I stopped the antibiotic after taking 4 doses(1 1/2 days worth) and still experiencing cramping for the last two days.

Hi.
Thanks for the inforamtion.
The cause of the cramping in the upper abdomen may not be the antibiotic but can be the anti-inflammatory tablets one takes.
This might have given gastritis.
Try the following:
Ranitidin and Omeprazole.
Antacid 3 hourly, soft bland diet and take probiotics also.
Consult a Doctor, preferably a General Surgeon for review, clinical evaluation and investigations as per the clinical findings.
