General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
Thanks for your query and concern for your friend.
The history of pain , sudden sweating , not feeling normal, not having normal stools is all indicative of few things:
Intestinal infection.
Typhoid

I would advise your friend the following:
First of all send the samples for -
Blood: Widal , CBC, sugar and creatinine.
Urine and stool - routine tests.
Ultrasonography just to rule out any organic lesion.

A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic for 5 days and then to change medicines as per the reports if need be or extend the antibiotic for 3 weeks if Typhoid is positive.

If no relief after the course , then only you can go for further tests of colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen.
