[|Human|] Hi, My wife was complaining of feverishness about a couple of month back, doctor said there is some infection in stomach and gave antibiotics . She recovered but similar problem reoccured after about a month and then again after a month or so. Now after taking antibiotics she is OK eccept that when pressed on the upper abdomen she feels pain. The pain is felt even in lower abdomen also when pressed slightly. We are worried that may be the problem will reoccur again. When the problem starts she doesnt feel hungry and feeld extreme weakness. What should we do??
[|AI|]  Hello, emailtogupta, I am not sure how young your wife is. Since different conditions cause different symptoms depending on the age and sex, it shard to guess. However, based on the information you have provided, I think the doctor may be treating her for H.pylori infection that can affect the stomach and cause ulcer involving the duodenum.(Beginning portion of the small intestine). Usually, three antibiotics along with a PPI (Such as Omeprazole)are used for at least ten days to cure this bug. If this is not treated properly, the infection will come back. The other possibility is some kind of gastroenteritis or infection caused by eating some contaminated food or Chat Doctor. I think you should discuss this with her doctor and have her get some blood tests and also stool examination. There is a stool antigen test for H.pylori, if positive will indicate active infection that needs treatment. Lower abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea, can indicate Diverticulitis, inflammation of one of the pockets or pouches on the large bowel. This is more common after the age of 55-60. Hope this information helps your wife. Wish her well.
