Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing watery stool for the past week. Its a diarhea stool, but it doesn't happen a lot. I actually feel more constipated and find it hard to use the bathroom when I feel like I need to go. Then I developed a cold over the past couple of days, plugged and running nose, scratchy throat. And headache. The headache seems connected to my bowel movements. So when I actually go to the bathroom my headache clears up.
Loose motions can occur due to infection or food poisoning. Stress from disease can cause headache as well. You did not mention your age. I would suggest you following things: > Take lots of fluids( water, juices) > Take Metronidazole thrice a day for 5 days > Take Zinc supplement once a day for 10 days > Take ecobion sachets once a day
AVOID: > fast food > unhygienic food from outside > alcohol > smoking
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
