What medicine should I take for stomach pain /cramp?
Patient: I m having diarrhea right now with stomach pain/cramps. I m ok with the constant bowel movement and I m willing to wait it out. It s the stomach pain that I want to get rid of. How do I do that without impeding bowel movement? I mean, I would prefer to constant bowel movement so that whatever is causing the diarrhea will be flushed out. Doctor: Hi.Thank you for your question.Let me ensure that you are fine and need not to panic.There can be lot of causes leading to such symptoms.The commonest one being bacterial infection of Intestine.I generally advice following to my patients:1)Antiobotic course preferably with Norfloxacin and Metronidazole for 5 days.2)Adequate diet.3)Oral Rehydation Solution to be taken frequently.Hope i answered your questions.Wish you a healthy life,Regards,Dr.Arun Prasad.
