Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doctor. I am 40 yrs old female. I have had an upset stomach since this morning and this evening after eating dinner my stomach began cramping severely and I had watery diarrhea. It didn t pass all at once and I made several trips to the bathroom. It had an extremely foul odor and small hard pebbles. Almost seemed plaque like. I am worried about the structure of my colon because I have had 3 hernia repairs and my doctor has discovered I have yet again busted through the mesh and need another surgery for repair. Are these related and what can I do to stop the diahrrea?
According to history you have eaten dinner food and then diarrhea .... So mostly it seems acute gastroenteritis.... It could be viral or bacterial....
Take ciprofloxacin tablet and metronidazole tablet for 5 days.. Maintain hydration with lots of fluid... ORS taken to prevent electrolyte disturbance... Fruit juice can taken... Avoid excess spicy and fatty foods.... Smoking , NSAIDs , excess tea like irritant avoided.... Semisolid food taken for few days. Small meal with frequent intervals taken... Avoid stress.... Non veg avoided....
If still after 4 days diarrhea continue stool examination done for parasite detection... If ankylostoma or ascaris detected albendazole needed....
If still cause not clear perform USG abdomen..
Take care.
Dr.Parth
