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 developed acute diarrhea & intermittent stomach pain as well as general achiness last Wednesday. I thought it might be possible food poisoning because it developed a few hours after I ate. It resolved significantly over the next few days, but returned yesterday acutely. I am in Spain hiking the Camino De Santiago. I was unable to hike today. Thoughts on cause & action?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of acute diarrhea and stomach ache which seems to be due to food poisoning/ acute gastroenteritis caused by viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you not to panic at all. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well.
You should take banana on daily basis and light food. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
