Suggest Treatment For Loose Runny Stools
I have had a stomach ache all afternoon, i have gone to the restroom about 4 times since about 5pm, loose runny stool, I keep having hot flashes about every 30-45 minutes, now my stomach is just constant aching in the lower abdomen. I had my gallbladder removed about 13 years so I m used to going to the bathroom a lot and having my stomach cramp but it has always been relieved by having a bowel movement. But today, it hurts constantly even after bowel movement.

Hi
Its probably a gastrointestinal infection. Depends on if u took any meal from outside, etc. Take oral rehydrating salt to compensate for fluids & electrolytes loss. Take soft diet only like bananas, boiled rice, etc. Take Tab. Nimesulide for stomach pain thrice daily. If u cannot tolerate this orally, go to emergency for intravenous fluids & rest of the management.
Thank you
