What Causes Slight Diarrhea, Clear Anal Discharge And Stomach Pain?
Question: My granddaughter, my husband, and myself have been having slight diareha with clear anal discharge as well the past few days. We do have stomach ache as well. Virus?
Brief Answer:
Seems like Viral only.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for posting your query.
Yes it looks like a viral infection of gut , but a possibility of food poisoning is also there. But since it is mild diarrhoea , the possibility of viral is high.
There is no need of any medications for this as of now. Just drink plenty of water, fruit juice, avoid milk , buttermilk , curds, avoid non veg food.
If diarrhoea increase or persists even after 2 days , you have to get a test called stool routine and revert back with report.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards.
