Hello, over the past week I have had these symptoms: first sharp pelvic pain (went away after two days, may not be related to the rest), then lower abdomen pain and diarrhea after eating since Wednesday night, and since Tuesday a persistent headache (pressure/heaviness) that only goes away for a short amount of time after taking medicine. I am wondering if there is anything that could cause all these symptoms at once. I live in a village in Africa and it is not easy to get to a good doctor. Thanks!
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Your symptoms are probably due to food poisoning, which could be caused by enteric bacteria. If I were your treating doctor, I would prescribe tablet Ofloxacin and Metronidazole. Sporolac, Meftal Spas tablet whenever necessary for your abdominal pain. Take lot of water, avoid spicy food, outside food, take food rich in vitamins and minerals. Hopefully your problem will subside. I hope I have answered your question. If you have further queries, I'm happy to help you.
