How Can Diarrhea, Belching, Abdominal Pain And Chills Be Treated?

My husband started having diarrhea, belching, mid lower abdominal pain, and goose bumps/chills yesterday. He ate sauerkraut and a bratwurst about 4 hours before his symptoms started. He has had several loose stools since and now has pink frothy stools x2. We don t have insurance and I wanted to know if this could just be from food and how long to wait before going to hospital?

The symptoms.your husband is experiencing is suggestive of viral Gastroenteritis.
Management is as follows
-Drink plenty of fluids, stay hydrated
-Follow liquid diet like soup for the first 2r hours followed by BRAT diet(banana, rice,Apple, toast).
-Take buscopan 10 mg (2 tablets twice daily) to relieve spasm and pain.

The symptoms should start subsiding in next 48-72 hours.
