What Causes Nausea, Vomiting, Loose Stools, Sore Throat And Runny Nose?

A few days ago my 24 year old woke up nauseous and then spent the day vomiting and loose bowels. He has a history of food allergies so I thought it was something he ate. The next day he felt better but a little dehydrated. Today he has sore throat, runny nose and feels horrible and is coming home early from work. It is very unlike him. Do you think the two are connected?

Hi,

The course of symptoms you have mentioned may be unrelated. Earlier symptoms of nausea, vomiting and loose stools indicate gastroenteritis which means infection or inflammation of bowel. Symptoms including sore throat, runny nose indicate an upper respiratory tract infection. Antibiotics, Betadine mouth gargle and healthy food will help in early recovery. Avoiding dehydration is essential.Intravenous fluid and anti-emetics may be required in case of persistent vomiting.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
