Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 22-year-old female. I have abdominal pain underneath on the left side, and I immediately went to the hospital. And they diagnosed me with gastroenteritis but did not give me medication. For a few days, I was in lots of pain from inflammation, so I decided to go to a gastroenterologist. The doctor gave me Dicyclomine, which helped the inflammation, so I no longer have that anymore. The only problem I have now is on and off spasms in the middle of my left side abdomen. I have not had any symptoms from gastroenteritis like most people who have vomiting and diarrhea, so do you know what it could be? Please reply.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your problem may be due to altered bacterial flora in the intestine, which occurs due to gastroenteritis. It appreciates that unfriendly bacteria in gastroenteritis replace normal friendly bacteria, which is technically called normal bacterial flora.

Take tablet Florastor 250 mg (Saccharomyces boulardii) one capsule daily after dinner for ten days.

Follow up after five days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
