What Causes Severe Diarrhoea Along With Sore Throat?
I have a bad soar throat and upset stomach. I have travelled from India to US 2 days ago and had an ankle edema in my right leg. After coming home , I slept with my feet raised and the swelling has slowly subsided. From yesterday I am passing loose motions. Water and soup are my main diet. I get severe abdominal pain for few hours after drinking or eating and then have a need to pass a loose stool. Please help

Hello and thanks for writing.
Your problems can be due to several reasons like Food poisoning, Flu, Pharyngitis or any other infection. You should visit a physician and get yourself worked which may include a complete blood count, stool exam, urine routine exam, USG abdomen as indicated. In the mean while you can start plenty of fulids with salts so as to prevent dehydration and start warm water gargles for your throat.
Hope it helps.
