What Causes Diarrhea Followed By Fever And A Rash On The Torso?
I just had what I thought was a bout of food poisoning. Started 2 hours after I ate. Stomach upset, then diarrhea. That lasted 12 hours then I had a fever and woke up with my T-shirt soaked. Then noticed rash on my torso. 12 hours later the fever has broke, I am able to eat and keep food and water down, but the rash is worse!
Your symptoms suggestive of allergic or viral gastritis like inflammatory condition. Now your gastric symptoms improved and so no need to worry about that.
Symptomatic management will be sufficient for that. Maintain hydration with lots of water and ORS to maintain electrolyte balance.
For rashlevocetirizine like an antihistaminic drug can be prescribed for five days. I suggest you consult physician once for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
