Suffering from abdominal pain with burning sensation in the lower part of belly and cramps
Patient: Hi, for the past 4 days i have had a LOT of pain in my stomach, i get a burning sensation in the lower part of my belly and cramps just below my ribs. i have been taking ibuprofen every 6 hours but it only eases the pain slightly, and today it has started becoming painful a few mins after i eat. My stomach is gurgleing constantly. I have been passing wind, and have has regular bowel movements please can you help me?? Doctor: Hi You could be having acid reflux and possible peptic ulcer disease.First stop eating oily,spicy food. Drink plenty of water. Avoid smoking/alcohol. You should never be on an empty stomach for long periods. Start antacids before meals like omeprazole. Dont take ibuprofen before you take the antacids.Always after food. If the pain increases,you need an ultrasound and prescription antacids so please see a doctor.
