Hi,
Thank you for query.
I read the message. Its seems you are having gastroenteritis. Pins and needles are common during gastroenteritis.
You can take Antacids like Tab Pan twice daily for 1 week along with Tab Diphenoxylate once daily for 3 days.
You need to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
Take Tab probiotic once daily for 5days.
Take care
