Brief Answer: looks like gastroenteritis Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for writing to HCM. All your symptoms point towards gastroenteritis (food poisoning). You have started correct medication already. Just take it twice daily for 5 days. Also you need to drink plenty of fluids to replace the lost fluid. The weakness is due to dehydration. In addition you need to take a course of preprobiotics to replenish the good gut bacteria. Drink cleaner water, And lastly, take care of what and where you eat to prevent any recurrence. Hope I have been helpful. If you have any doubts please feel free to ask followup. Get well soon. Dr. Ashish Verma

Brief Answer: comes by same name Detailed Answer: Hi, Preprobiotics are easily available over the counter in most places. Check at your Pharmacy or chemist nearby, it comes in various brands, all are same, take whichever is available. If its not available without prescription, then you need to see a local doctor for the same. You can take one capsule twice daily for first 2-3 days then just one in the night for another 3-4 days.
