Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 8 year old son got sick two nights ago at around 3:30am and was vomiting and had loose stool. I figured he caught the stumich flu from school. It seem his symptoms stopped sometime late morning to after noon and he was fine. Two days later i get sick, iv been sick now for about 24 hours. I have server stomich cramps nausea and frequent watery diarrhea. I also ran a temperature lastnight and had mild body aches. I took reconmined doses of some anti diarrheal, Pepto Bismol, and daytime cold and flu lastnight. When i woke up this morning my stool was a dark color and looked like tiny grainy flakes that settled on the bottom of the toilet. Im still sick by not quite as bad as yesterday but my stomich keeps constantly girgling like gas or air keeps building inside. Whats going on with me?
Hello I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern Looking at your history this could be due to any of these possibilities 1. Gastroenteritis due to infection 2.worm infestation 3. Indigestion or malabsorption 4. acid peptic disease or aerophagia
I see such patients in my clinic, after clinical examination and patient history of would advise them for a battery of tests like liver function tests or stool test for ova cyst or protozoa
you may require a course of antibiotics like ofloxacin with ornidazole and anti acidity medicines under supervision of your doctor have plenty of fluids including ORS to counter dehydration take probiotics which will improve healthy germs in intestine have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables Wash your hands with antiseptic soap every time you eat hope this helps you please feel free to ask for more clarification I gladly answer you best wishes
