Suggest Treatment For Stomach Discomfort And Loose Stools
I recently had food poisoning about a week and a half ago. After the wave of diarrhea and vomiting I seemed to recover pretty well. Now in the past 4 or 5 days I seem to have discomfort in my stomach and left side but not all the time. Sometimes it seems to go away. It isn t painful but feels like pressure. However each day seems like it is more noticeable. Yesterday when I woke up I was extremely tired, oddly tired. Coffee didn t seem to be working either. Last night after work I ran 3.3 miles like I usually do however after my run I felt my side seem to gain discomfort, I broke into a high fever, felt nauseous, and woke in the middle of the night because I had completely sweated out everything I was wearing. Chills set in really bad. Today my chills seem to come and go. I have been taking motrin to help the temp but it helps just a little. Seems like the pressure subsides and then after I eat the pressure is back. Oh and also my stools aren t solid. Just kinda

Hi thanks for asking question.
First you get your stool examined.
If it shows pus cells bacterial gastroenteritis can be thought.For that antibiotic needed.
Second stool may reveal egg of ameba or trophozoites of giardia .for that parasitic infection metronidazole or other suitable drug taken.
Third if stool also having blood then dysentery like infection might be present.
Salmonella food poisoning might occurred and can lead chronic typhoid.In typhoid fever with abdomen pain present and widal test or culture helpful.
Probiotics taken.
Cooked oatmeal useful.
Berberine also good remedy.
Drink more water and fruit juice.
If cause still not clear and increasing symptoms ultrasound and endoscopic examination may needed.
Wish you good health.
