Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And Diarrhea

Hi doctor, About two weeks ago I was throwing up and having diarrhea. I thought it was something I ate. I was not able to eat regularly until about a week ago. Then today, same symptoms appeared. Is it possible that I caught a virus or could it simply be another episode of food poisoning. I did not eat the same foods as before. let me know your thoughts, KC

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Yes you might be right , you can have food poisoning second time as history of eaten outside food is present ..

Is there any Mucus , blood present in stool ????
It could be viral , bacterial or parasitic ....

Get your stool routine microscopic examination ...

If show pus cells and bacteria than antibiotic needed ..like ciprofloxacin ..
If showing egg of ameba than metronidazole needed ..

If egg of any other nematode parasite like hookworm than albendazole given....

If still needed USG and stool culture will be useful...
Also get checked by widal test for typhoid ..

Take care

Advise : gastroenterologist consultation...
