Suggest Treatment For Vomiting, Loose Stools And Stomach Ache
Question: Hi Doctor, Need you help on guidance for vommiting and loose motion with little stomach ache.
Brief Answer:
Most likely food poisoning or mild GI infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your health query.
The most important factor in dealing with loose stools and vomiting is hydration.
So, I suggest you to keep drinking enough water, ideally, ORS (Buy ORS packets from a medical store and mix that powder with 1 liter of water - the instructions will be provided on the packet), and keep drinking it as much as you want.
You can also take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20 mg twice a day for 5 days to minimise the gastric irritation.
For vomiting you can take tablet Ondensetron 4 mg thrice daily for 3 days.
The pain has to be managed.
Please see a doctor if you develop fever or the loose stools get worse and if you see blood in stools.
Wishing you fast recovery.
Best regards
