Suggest Treatment For Watery Stools, Chills And Vomiting
Question: On XXXXXXX 18, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like someone with spiky shoes was walking all over my stomach. By 4:30 on XXXXXXX 19th I was throwing up, then diarreaha, chills and sweats. The chills and sweats lasted for about 24-36 hours. The vomiting stopped but the watery stools have not. The stools range from soft serve on some days, to pure water on others. It's not all day long, maybe twice a day. At first I thought I had the flu. Now I'm wondering if I have a parasite or E-Coli. Any suggestions how I can get stools back to normal?

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
You have got severe gastroenteritis. If I was your treating physician, i would have prescribed you with Rifaximin antibiotic for a course of 7 days, if not allergic to.
Plus take Imodium, one right now by mouth and then after every loose stool until you get your stools back to normal. Tablet tylenol for headaches and fever.Take proper rest to get well soon.
Take plenty of fluids. Pedialyte is preferred to take 5 times a day.High fiber diet with a balanced healthy stuff is the key. Unhygienic outside foods to be avoided.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
