Bad cough, nauseous, pain in lower left abdominal area. What is it ?
Patient: I have a really bad cough , I am sort of nauseous and I have a weird pain in my lower left abdominal area when I lay on my back. I have had this cough for about a week but the abdominal pain just started happening about 4 hours ago. My head hurts when there is a sudden noise and I get dizzy When I stand for a long period of time. What do you think it is? Doctor: Hello,First please take medications for you cough.Since you have been coughing for a week, there has been a lot of repetative abdominal wall contractions.This is the cause of your pain.I suggest you take cough reducing medicines and do not stress yourself while coughing.Hope this helps.
