Brief Answer:
Acute Viral Gastroenteritis Treatment...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

Your symptoms are indicative for acute viral gastroenteritis (stomach bug).

It will be gone in a few days. I advise to :
- continue taking Enterogermin
- increase water/fluid intake
- take OTC O.R.S together with OTC tasectan and ranitidine

If no improvement within a few days, and if feces will contain blood or mucus, should consult with your doctor for specific treatment.

Wish fast recovery!
Dr.Klerida
