Suggest Treatment For Stomach Infection

Posted on Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Question: I had what i can only describe as stomach flu staring last Sunday, body aching with joint pain with associated diarrhea every 30 minutes. I even had a fever up to 103. This all cleared up over three days except the pure liquid diarrhea. I am still now having pure liquid bowel movements although they are not frequent. In fact, they are almost at a frequency that i would normally be going to the bathroom....i have always gone two or three times a day. My wife is concerned that i am back to eating completely normal but i still have pure liquid movements. I have no abdominal pains and even had my wife push gently all around to see if anything felt tender. At what point should i get concerned and see if there is something causing a potnetial problem?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might have been suffering from infection of the gastrointestinal tract and needs medical management.

I would advise that you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily and Metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily.
A probiotic will have added benefits.

You should eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
Also take care of your hydration.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
