Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
11 days ago I had one episode of vomiting which was just a small amount,the next 4 days after this I was really nauseous and felt like fatiguing around food so I couldn’t eat, on the 5th day I had bad diarrhoea, throughout all this and even now 11 days in total I have extreme thirst,im constantly drinking water but it isn’t helping. Could I have had a stomach bug? Wouldn’t I have had more symptoms? And how can I be dehydrated when I hardly vomited and only had one episode of diarrhoea, also yesterday I had a stomach ache most of the day. I was tested for diabetes and thyroid problems earlier in the year and everything was normal. Does anyone have any ideas?
You might be having gastritis or acid peptic disease. You need to follow some lifestyle tips. 1. Do not eat spicy food 2. Take medications for gastritis- Pantop or Omez or Rantac. 3. Take little food at frequent intervals. Breakfast around 8 am, a small snack at 11 am, lunch at 1 pm, a small snack at 4 pm and dinner at 8 pm. 4. Drink plenty of water. 5. Do not smoke, take alcohol or tobacco and even excess of coffee and tea. 6. Do not take much of stress. Stress aggravates gastritis. 7. Do regular exercise. At least half an hour per day. 8. Learn meditation techniques. 9. Follow this regularly for 21 days. It said that anything you practice regularly for 21 days becomes a habit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
