Having Fever, Muscle Ache, Headaches, Diarrhea With Fishy Smell. Causes ?
Hi I am experiencing fevers, muscle aches and headaches . I have diarrhea that is not chronic ( 5 times in the last 36 hours) it smells fishy and it is now a reddy orange in colour and starting to become mucousy in texture. The onset of fever and aches was quick I was playing tennis doubles at 5pm in the evening and feeling normal, half an hour after stopping I was feverish. The diarrhea started proper 4 hrs later in the middle of the night. I did however have a loose movement a couple of hours before the tennis. Please advise and thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having infection of the gastrointestinal tract and needs medical management.
I would suggest that you should get your stool examined for any infection or parasitic infestation.
I would advise that you should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with a probiotic.
You may need an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily along with Metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily.
Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
Also take care of your hydration.
A clinical examination will be helpful.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
