Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea

On Monday I took with diarrhea emptying my bowels to the point where just boil was coming out and then went to sleep for about 25 - 30 hours every now and then getting up to get a drink or use the restroom. I felt stomach sick, stomach turning, but didn t throw up. Thursday was the first cooked meal I had eaten since Monday and before that was just a half banana and a few crackers the night before. I still have fatigue, no energy. The question I have is should I just let this wear off or go to see a doctor? Is there anything I can take, if I have a virus of some kind, to get rid of it.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have diarrhea and fatigue which seems to be due to disturbance of electrolytic balance of body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food intolerance , food allergy , bacterial or viral infection , parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide. You should eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana. Take oral rehydrating solution as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
