default
Posted on Wed, 18 Dec 2013
Question: About 5 days ago I came down with what I thought was the stomache bug, I had high gas nauasa, the first day, the 2nd day I had a lot of gas and very loose stool.The third day I still had the stomach cramps and diarrhea with some nausea every time I eat something the gas and pain returns, I hate to keep taking the peptobismol because I don't want to get plugged up. Now today I had the high gas again after I ate breakfast and some loose stool, it took all morning for sympthoms to subside.I had surgery a month ago for a total knee replacement and became very ill from the hydrocordone that they were giving me and now I have panic attacks and am on Ativan q 4 hours as needed, would this be causing a lot of my problems, or do I still have the bug and will it clear it self out.

Brief Answer: Take tab Imodium for diarrhoea Detailed Answer: Hello, I have studied your case. As per your history and symptoms there is possibility of infection which can be viral or worm infestation. I will advise to start antacids [proton pump inhibitors like] rabeprazole 20 mg twice a day. Take tab Imodium for diarrhoea and drink ORS solution in water. You may need to take a course of antihelminth like mebendazole consulting your doctor. If not relieved you may need to do investigation like complete blood count, USG abdomen . I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. Continue your tablet ativan for your panic attacks. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.
