Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection. I suggest you do a complete blood count and a stool test to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile, I suggest you drink liquids and take daily probiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
