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 had diarrhea and fatigue for 5-6 days. Off and on. No other symptoms, I am eating my normal diet, sleeping regular hours which is not enough but I wake up after about 6 hours. No excess exposure to sun or heat. No exposure to anyone sick as far as I know. I am drinking sufficient water that has been filtered to keep from becoming dehydrated.
As you said you had multiple diarrhea there is much water loss and less absorbed food from intestines. You need to take good amount of food, water and electrolytes in the for of oral rehydration solution (ORS).
The generalized body aches and fatigue is because of the same reason, also you are having diarrhea since a week you nay be having gastritis too. That can also lead to fatigue.
Visit a Gastroenterologist and take a course of antibiotics for the main cause of diarrhea.
Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further questions.
Regards Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
