Please, can you recommend me something for a pain in the lower abdomen, apparently caused by inflameted colon. thanks?

Antibiotics!: An "inflamed colon" is usually caused by infections but can also be from inflammatory bowel disease. Typically we start antibiotics then look at the colon with colonoscopy once it has calmed down. Ct scanning can be helpful if symptoms do not improve in a few days.
