What is the treatment for severe abdominal pain?
Patient: My 12 year old daugher has been complaining of a stitch like pain, initially it was in the centre of her abdomen but seems to have shifted to the left side. When it goes she acts completely normally so isn t unwell otherwise and then she will double up with the pain. Any ideas? Many thanks Doctor: Hi,From history it seems that she might be having abdominal colic giving this problem.With this history only this can be concluded.You have not mentioned about other associated symptoms like bowel movements, nausea, fever etc.There might be having possibility of starting her period as this is the age when menstrual bleeding starts.Give her symptomatic pain reliever medicine like Meftal spas or Cyclopam to get temporary relief.Give her rest.give her light diet.Ok and take care.
