Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband is 52 and has had diarrhea for four days now despite having not eaten for three days straight except for clear liquids (7Up and Ginger Ale) He tried to eat last night because he was feeling weak but it ran right through him. Tried again this afternoon with some Ramen and same result. When should we consult his doctor?
The symptoms seem to be related to enterovirosis. I suggest using an over the counter option such as Imodium to treat diarrhea. I also suggest to use daily probiotics.
I recommend to drink liquids and eat a plain diet with small portions frequently. vIt is recommended to use banana, rice, toast and apples.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
