What Causes Loss Of Appetite Along With Fatigue And Lower Back Ache?

Hello, my close friend who lives in Cancun has these symptoms: Loss of appetite, tiredness (fatigue)aching lower back, aching hips . some diarrhea, nausea, and random headaches. All symptoms occurred within one weeks time. He is 25 years old and has lived in Cancun for 4 years. From these symptoms and the location he is currently living, are there any viruses he may have come in contact with that could make him feel as fatigued as is experiencing ?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

He needs to be physically examined by a GP & get blood & Imaging tests done.

Such symptoms commonly occur due to food poisoning, developing typhoid infection, liver disorder, indigestion, dehydration, lack of nutrients in his diet.

He should take ORS, soups & juice to help maintain the electrolyte balance of the body.

He can take Loperamide & Imodium to control diarrhea. Let him take homemade boiled food, avoid spicy greasy food & addictions if any.

He should visit ER, get physically examined, get Liver function & other tests done. Take Acetaminophen (Tylenol), one sos when backache.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
