What Should I Do For Diarrhea And Abdominal Pain?

Monday evening after planting my summer garden, I became sick. It started with severe abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea. On Tuesday, I woke up with a massive headache. All week long I have had abdominal pain, the diarrhea stooped, but the pain remain. A nagging feeling on the right side back of my neck. Headaches, hazy vision, chest pain and a sense of tiredness has ensued. Do you think it has to do with the soil I was working with?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
All your symptoms are going for gastroenteritis , that is infection of the intestines and does not look to have any relation to the gardening you did.

I would advise to go for a proper course of antibiotics and supportive treatment under a care of a Doctor.

IF there are no complete relief in 5 days , you have to go for blood / stool/ urine tests and ultrasonography just to see that there is no other problem,
I find this answer helpful
