What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain After Recovery From Diverticulitis?

My mother was released a couple of days ago from the hospital after a bout with diverticulitis. She was fine when she came home but pain in her abdomen has now gotten very bad. Not sure if it is still the diverticulitis or the medicine she is on (Levaquin and Flagyl). She is 85 years old, has dementia and don t know if I should take her back to the hospital.

Hello,

Pain in the abdomen could be due to diverticulitis since multiple diverticuli can be present at one times in intestine. I suggest you to consult your treating doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
