Suggest Medication For Severe Pain Around Belly Button And Diarrhea

A week ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with severe pain in my belly button. It was followed by severe diarreah and lasted for several hours. I then started vomiting and later ended up with hives all over my body including my scalp. Is this a something to be overly concerned about? Maybe just a stomach bug, but the hives seemed weird. The following day I was fine, with no symptoms. Thank you.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
A combination of sudden pain in belly button, followed by severe diarrhea that lasted for several hours, vomiting that ended up with hives all over body.
This is most probably due to intestinal infection that the exo-toxins and Endo-toxins can affect the body in such a way to have weird hives.
Since you are fine by the next day, the bacteria and infection got washed out.
Yet you have to take care so that the attack is not repeated, otherwise you will have to go for the tests of stool and blood and get appropriate treatment for intestinal infection.
