Had Food Poisoning, Fever, On Antibiotics, Took Cap, No Mucus In Stool. Should I Be Concerned?
I had food poisoning 12 days earlier. The next day i had slight fever . Was on antibiotics orni-o and darolac. Was recovering quiet good. 2 days earlier i had stools with mucus and undigested foods. Visited doc again. Was prescribed to take Pre-Pro HS, zenflox and zincovit-A. Took it last night and took the other 2 tabs this moring except pre-pro HS.
Had Rice with Curd for lunch and after 3 hours had banana.

Am much worried that things are not getting better even after all medications.
Would like to know what i am going through now. Am i getting better or condition is getting bad.. Please help me doc..badly in need of help

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
With the available described details, there appears to high possibility of partially treated Acute bacterial gastroenteritis.
At times infection may persist for long period due to untreated infection.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for complete blood count, blood sugar, serum electrolytes, widal test, amoebic antibodies and thyroid profile.
You should take complete antibiotic therapy, antispasmodics, probiotics, antipyretics, if needed.
You should maintain your hydration status by taking potassium rich liquids.
Take soft diet along with yogurt and banana.
Avoid milk and all milk related products.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
