Brief Answer: ..... Detailed Answer: Hi there. Thanks for writing. I think you might be suffering from gastroenteritis with symptoms of loose stools and fever. I would advise you to do the following: Drink ORS oral rehydration solution, tender coconut water etc. Have Toast,rice gruel etc. Take probiotics like lactobacillus. They help in maintaining normal gut flora. Take a paracetamol for the fever. Stop phenergan syrup Most cases of viral gastroenteritis will subside in 24-48 hours. Stress can also cause an increase in BP. However, you need to get your blood pressure checked again as it is 150/100 which is quite high. Hope this information was helpful. Regards, Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
