Suggest Remedy For Fever, Diarrhea, Chills And Sweating With Severe Muscle Pain
Question: my girlfriend and I are spending a week at an all inclusive resort in cozumel Mexico. it's our last two days and we're both sharing very similar symptoms. slight fever (nothing dramatic) minor diarrhea, alternating chills and sweating. I've been getting some sharp muscle pains in seemingly random areas like my left side under my ribs (pancreas area) but also other areas and a tender abdomen. a few times throughout the day I felt better, but then it would come back. I've also been having discomfort all over my body like my skin hurts. no physical marks like bumps or bruising. any advice? we have been drinking copious amounts of water.
Brief Answer:
capsule omeprazole, probiotic, paracetamol
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
The first set of symptoms that you have mentioned that is slight fever, minor diarrhea, sweating might be due to stomach flu or changes in food.
Slight fever - it is better to record the temperature, so you can be sure you have fever or not.
Diarrhea - I would like to know how many times and its consistency.
Presently I would suggest you to avoid spicy food, and take curd which will be beneficial. I would suggest you to take capsule omeprazole 20 mg once daily before breakfast for three days. Apart from this you can take probiotic like sporolac or ecobion.
Regarding the other symptom like aches, that might be due to tiredness. You can take tablet paracetamol 500 mg twice daily for day or two, it will help in relieving your pain.
If the symptoms persists after two days with this measures or increases I would recommend you to visit local doctor.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care
