How Can I Get Rid Of Weakness, Abdominal Pain, Proteus Infection And Salmonella?

Hi. I m a caucasian 61 y old female diagnose with Salmonella 1:40 and a mild proteus infect. After 7 days on Flagyl I am worse today - can t keep even organic coconut water down for dehydration. Stols are no longer hello but almost constipated and then very loose - stools come about every 5 hours. Stomach cramps intermittent (associated with antecedent to bowel movement). I m feeling very weak. Any thoughts? Thanks Oh - I m living in Mexico and never eat off the street.

Hello,

It is good to know that you are not getting loose stools at present.

1. Weakness is because of dehydration & sodium, potassium depletion in your body electrolyte balance. Take ORS, soups & juices. Stay well hydrated.
2. Take semi-solid food( porridge/ oats) with boiled Raw banana (one at a time). You can boil sago (Tapioca sago) in milk & take it at intervals, it effectively corrects bowel movement.
3. Take Spasmol (Spasmoproxyvon), one sos when abdominal pain, antacids & PPI's, Pantoprazole - 40, once daily for 5 days.

In the meantime, stay away from stress, stay relaxed. Take adequate sleep. Avoid addictions if any. Take medications always under your treating doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
