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.
I have been vomiting for two days and have had watery diarrhea all day today. Can you tell me what s wrong with me? I can t even keep water down. Within a couple minutes of drinking water I automatically have to vomit and use the bathroom. What can I do to keep hydrated?
You have got gastroenteritis (inflammation of inner lining of stomach and intestine). It is mainly due to food. Unhygienic food and water is reason behind this. It can be related to viral or bacterial.
I treat my patients with such problems by intravenous fluids, intravenous antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and metronidazole) , antacids and antivomit injections for initial few days and then switch over to tablets . same time I also do a culture and sensitivity of stools to identify the cause and definitive antibiotics.
I would advise you to visit a hospital urgently. You can keep yourself hydrated by taking oral rehydration solutions as many as possible. If not available you can prepare solution at home by putting salt and sugar in boiled water.
I hope my reply will help you. Please write a feedback. I wish you rapid recovery. Thank you.
