[|Human|] I have diverticulitis and I have been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen for 2 days, I have been using a heating pad and took a laxative when I have pass gas it feels a little better. The pain gets worse when I sit down and when I walk it hurts, I believe it is an inflammation and was hoping you could recommend something over the counter
[|AI|]  Hi and Welcome to Chat Doctor, OTC painkiller Paracetamol can help you.  Take pain medicines (ask your doctor which ones you should use). The doctor may treat you with antibiotics. Add more fiber to your diet. Eating more fiber can help prevent future attacks.  If you make a few simple changes in your lifestyle, you may not have diverticulitis again. Continue using heating pad.  Wish you speedy recoveryThanks
