Suggest Treatment For Stomach Discomfort And Watery Diarrhea

I have had severe watery diarrhea for 3 days. I feel extremely fatigued, I have bad headaches that come and go, and some mild discomfort under my belly button area. I am not dehydrated, but I am hungry. I have eaten very little and it doesn't stay in my body very long. I feel so weak.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Allergic reaction or side effects to any food product- in this case, symptoms will reduce on its own on discontinuing the product.

2. Infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.
The sensation of fatigue is due to loss of water & body water as a result of repeated watery diarrhea.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with:
1. Tablet Pantoprazole + Domperidone (to be taken half an hour before food)
2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily.
3. Maintain adequate hydration by O.R.S.
4. Take soft, plain diet.

If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist & get a proper physical examination done to find out the exact cause.
Investigations like complete blood count, stool examination & Ultrasound scan of abdomen will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing a good health.
Take care.
