Hello,
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection.
I recommend to do a stool test for further evaluation.
Meanwhile, I suggest using over the counter option such as Imodium to treat the diarrhea.
I also recommend to take daily probiotics.
I suggest to drink a lot of liquids and eat a healthy diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
