Low grade fever of 99.9, weak and light headed. Yesterday I thought I was feeling better and last night th each started again and this morning I have had diarhea 10 times just like water. Do I have food poisoning or stomach flu?I'm drinking Gatorade and water. When should I start feeling better???
Brief Answer:
Most probably gastroenteritis ( stomach flu).
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Your symptoms are most probably related to gastroenteritis or stomach and bowels infection by bacteria or viruses, because you had fever too.
Symptoms of food poisoning start about two hours after eating and subside in one to two days.
You should use microelements prepared formula ( Adiaril, Tresol) 3 to 4 times a day to replace microelements and fluid loose by diarrhea.
You should use Loperamide 2 mg three times a day for two days for diarrhea.
With these simple medications and good rehidration, you should feel better in a couple of days.
If fever and diarrhea persists in the next few days, you should consult your primary care Doctor.
