First, I would recommend performing a physical examination of the patient. This includes checking vital signs, listening to the patient's description of the abdominal pain, and looking for any signs that could indicate the cause of the pain.
Next, I would recommend ordering a series of lab tests to look for any underlying infections or inflammatory processes that may be causing the pain. These tests include a complete blood count (CBC), urinalysis, and C-reactive protein (CRP).
Finally, I would recommend ordering imaging studies, such as an abdominal ultrasound or CT scan, to look for any structural abnormalities that could be causing the pain.
Based on the results of the physical examination, lab tests, and imaging studies, I would then be able to provide more specific recommendations for diagnosing and treating the patient's abdominal pain. Treatment options may include medications to reduce inflammation or antibiotics to treat any underlying infections. The patient may also need to undergo surgery to treat any structural abnormalities.
