Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 26 year old son has a very sick stomach today. Vomiting and watery dark diareah. His lower back is in a lot of pain. His brother was very sick like this last week (without back pain). My son is clammy and seems to have a fever. He was on antibiotics for a bad cut but stopped them yesterday afternoon. I hope this is not serious and that I am not making a mistake by not taking him to the hospital.
Hello. Welcome to HCM. This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
See, diarrhea has many causes. In fact, taking antibiotics also may lead to diarrhea. There is also associated vomiting. I would suggest you the following- Tab ofloxacin-ornidazole twice daily for 5 days. Tab ondansetran 1 tab SOS when vomiting occurs. ORS solution to be taken in sips as required. Take note of fever thrice daily. Give tab paracetamol 500 SOS for fever.
Give me a feedback after 5 days. Hope this was helpful. Regards
