Any Suggestion For Suffering From Gastroenteritis?
My Boyfriend was really ill 5 days ago and he still is. When the doctor came he took his blood pressure and felt his tummy. He is suffering from a viral infection which i believe is called gasterintoritis. I read the manual on the pills the doctor gave to my boyfriend (loperamide) and It said that one of the rare side effects what bleeding/blistering/peeling of the eyes/lips/mouth/genitals. My boyfriend had pealing lips anyway but his lips seem to be peeling alot more now. We have agreed that he should not take the Medicine anymore until he sees a doctor. Also I read that Loperamide should not be administered if the patient has a high fever and when the pills were given to him he was drenched with sweat. The doctor didn t take his temperature. My boyfriend is not getting better what do you suggest?

hello madam,
dont be worried.
things will be better soon.
its not a very serious disease.
loperamide is an antimotility drug which reduces the motility of the gut, thus facilitating the passage of body contents
in his case, let him stop being given loperamide.
do again visit a doctor.
get him examined by him.
do follow further course of accurate treatment
wish him good health
