What Does Sudden Onset Of Lower Abdominal Cramps Indicate?

Sudden onset lower severe abdominal intermittent cramping all night and today. Possibly from drinking water with beet juice powder that sat in car all day. No other medical issues. Hoping it subsides by tonight or tomorrow. Also, lethargy. Question is can this be something that diminishes with multiple bowel movents, but no diarrhea or vomiting except fluid.

Hello,

Normally, if we do not have diarrhea or moderate pain, it may not be serious. But be alert! You may have to start a course of antibiotics for 3 days or 5 days.

Try to drink or eat fresh foods. If diarrhea or vomiting sets in, the first thing you should do is to keep yourself hydrated, that is, drink plenty of water.

But you said severe cramping. I think you should start a course of Ciprofloxacin 500 mg for 5 days.

You can also eat fresh curd during these days. You can also drink some Lemon Water with Honey which may reduce your problems.

If nothing works, please feel free to post another question. We are always ready to help.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
