Brief Answer:
Lomotil and electrolyte rich fluids can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The headache and sweats can be due to anxiety or due to hangover effect of the anaesthesia. The diarrhea is causing dehydration which is further aggravating the headache.
If you can take adequate electrolyte rich fluids orally and calm down then you can wait for the symptoms to subside on their own. Taking antimotility drugs like Lomotil will help to reduce diarrhea.
In case the anxiety and panic are worsening then it is best to go to hospital for proper control of the symptoms.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
