Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Left Abdominal Pain And Bloating While On Flagyl And Cipro For Diverticulitis?
I was diagnosed with my 2nd bout of diverticulitis 1 week ago. I am taking flagyl and cipro. Over the past 3 days, I have developed pain in my upper left quad. I feel bloated, the pain wraps around my flank into my back right under the ribs. It hurts worse with every inhalation and upon palpating.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The pain is probably related to bloating. I suggest to do an abdominal ultrasound for further evalaution. Meanwhile, I suggest to use a spasmolytic such as Buscopan to relieve the pain. I also suggest using Simethicone medication to relieve the bloating.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
