Have Stomach Pain And Diarrhea. And The Pain Is Not Continuous Also. What Can Be Done?

For the past 3 days I have been suffering from short stomach pains that last between 3 to 5 minutes at 15 minute intervals. This results in me having diarrhoea during each pain. What is Happening to me? I don't think it is food poisoning as I have had that many times before and that turns out to be one long stomach ache but for up to 24 hrs max. Can you help?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to Gastroenteritis.

Management includes:
1. Maintain adequate hydration by intake of fluids & ORS.
2. Taking soft, plain, non spicy diet.
3. Anti spasmodic for symptomatic relief.
4. If bacterial infection is suspected, then antibiotics need to be taken under guidance of a Doctor.

Since it has already been 3 days since you are having the symptoms, kindly consult your General Physician & start treatment accordingly.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
