Suggest Remedy For Diarrhoea, Cold Sweat And Dizziness Caused By Gastroenteritis

default
Posted on Mon, 2 Nov 2015
Question: My symptoms are diarrhea, cold sweat. dizziness, heaviness and body aches. I have no swollen glands or sore throat. I can walk around the home but not much further, not sure I can hold food down and I'm not hungry anyway. I feel full even though 10 hours ago I had 1/4 of a protein bar and a 1/2 banana.
I can't remember the last time I was sick, over 10 years ago so it's weird to me. Heavy exertion working out yesterday seems to be playing a role but who knows. What is it and can I do?
