What Causes Diarrhoea, Exhaustion And Aches In Joints And Lower Legs?
need a doctors opinion. 5th day of ailment. diarrhea, exhaustion body aches in the lower legs and joint areas, sore kidneys. temperature is normal, but have the chills.. discomfort in the stomach and intestinal area. no vomiting and no cold symptoms cold symptoms. Cant walk to the other side of the room without sitting down. went to the doctor yesterday and was given a sulfer based anti-biotic thinking that I had a stomach bacteria. no change. I think symptoms are getting worse. Viral ?
Generally viral gastroenteritis is self limiting, you should have been fine in 2 or 3 days. But since today is Day 5 of diarrhoea and other symptoms, I would advise you to get a couple of blood tests and stool examination done.
Antibiotic should show its effect by around 48 after starting treatment. If not better even after 2 days of starting antibiotic, pls visit the doctor.
