What To Do If Having Abdominal Pain, Lower Backpain After Being Treated For Water Infection?
I have had a 2 day course of antibiotics to treat a water infection, the pains seemed to ease of but have now come back again. I have also been constipated over the last 6 days, I have had 2 bowel movements but am in lots of abdominal pain and pain in my lower back. Could the symptoms be related?

Hello! Welcome to HCM.
Pain in abdomen & lower back suggests either musculoskeletal pain or urinary tract stone related pain.
Do you have any urinary complaints/fever?
Stone in ureter causes obstruction to urine outflow & smooth muscles in ureter contract excessively to overcome this obstruction and so is the severe pain.
In such cases in my clinic, I advise ultrasound abdomen & pelvis, X-ray KUB, urine & stool routine, CBC, BSL, renal function tests.
Treatment is done accordingly.
Drink plenty of water that is boiled & cooled.
Consult your doctor for antibiotics, diuretics, smooth muscle relaxants like drotaverine and diclofenac, tamsulosin etc if needed depending on site & size of the stone.
Hope this helps.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Thanks.
Regards.
