Hello Bonnie,
Pain in the lower abdomen can occur due to several possible causes in the digestive tract such as dyspepsia, liver disorders such as hepatitis or inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), or pancreatitis.
Some suggestions that you can do in conditions where there is frequent abdominal pain include compressing using warm water or taking paracetamol. Eat regularly 3 times a day and avoid foods that are too sour or too spicy. Also avoid excessive stress and limit your caffeine consumption.
However, if the abdominal pain is severe, does not go away with mild treatment or is accompanied by fever, you should consult a doctor to undergo a physical examination and also support such as blood tests and ultrasound examinations to determine the possible cause of the abdominal pain experienced and get appropriate treatment. according to possible causes.
I hope this information is helpful.
