Suggest Treatment For Persistent Diarrhea And Fever
My husband and I just returned Sunday from a cruise to Alaska . He began having diarrhea Saturday night after we boarded the plane (had one episode) then several more after we arrived home Sunday. Diarrhea continued until around lunch time. He also started coughing yesterday. Now he is running fever of 102.8. Should we go see MD at after hour clinic? He says chest feels a little tight. Cough is not productive

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of persistent diarrhea and fever which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis and electrolyte imbalance in body.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment after prescription if symptoms keep on persisting.
You should get intravenous fluid administration as well. You should take oral rehydrating solution as well. You should take Ibuprofen along with proton pump inhibitors as well. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. You should take banana on daily basis and light food. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate body fluids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
