What Could Prolonged Diarrhea With Dripping Sweat Indicate?
I have had diarrhea on and off for the past 5 to 6 months. My question is that I just sat down to go and I started dripping (I mean like running miles dripping) sweat. What could this mean? I am already trying my best to stay hydrated and I don t need to add sweating buckets to my list...any ideas?

Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Prolonged diarrhea indicates an infection with a resistant organism or an immunocompromised status.
Get yourself assessed by a local physician and also get a stool examination, complete blood counts and test for HIV and CMV status.
You may need treatment with broad spectrum antibacterials.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
