What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen?

My 14 year old son has stomach pain in the lower abdomen with diarrhea. He has been on Bentyl for the second time. He has not had any type of scans done to check to see what the cause of this can be. He says the pain level is at a 5 right now but it is a stabbing pain.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Please get an ultrasound abdomen to exclude appendicitis, if excluded then this could be due to gastroenteritis. Please give him Imodium every eight hours to stop the diarrhea and keep him adequately hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
