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.
hello for the past 6 days i have been suffering from what i assume to be some kind of stomach bug (i think). Ive had watery stool (1 maybe 2 times a day) and ive been vomiting (usually from about 4am - 2pm give or take). ive also had clammy hands and feet with the chills sometimes feeling hot. it seems to be worse in the first half of the day and kinda eases off of me in the evening to where i can actually get some comfort, but i have a consistent blah feeling throughout the whole day. i havent had much to eat since tuesday, a few crackers and toast and such but nothing to much at all just because every time i try to eat i feel sick. although thursday i felt as if i was almost back to normal so i ate some food, but then friday it was back. ive lost a pretty good amount of weight but im not sure on an exact number.. ive been trying to keep up with my fluid intake (water and ORS walgreens brand) because i was feeling a bit dried out for the past few days. i also fell drained and just plain tired. there is some kind of bug going around my town but everyone i know that has fallen ill with these similar symptoms have kicked it in 24-72 hrs. does any of this sound familiar? any advice would certainly help or just to hear that im ok would be awesome! thank you
HI Well come to HCM Looking to the history given here, it could be protozoa infection, 2 or even 3 time passing loose stool is normal, here the hydration is matter, If I would be your treating physician then I would treat this case with " Tab Secnidazole 2 G" could be taken in two divided dose at 8 hour interval, this is very convenient and can be given in suspected case of abdomen infection, have a hygienic diet, better to be away form stress, take care.
