Can I Take Loperamide And Dicycloverine For Abdominal Pain?
Hi I have had a tummy bug for 18 days now. feeling sick, hot and cold sweats, diarrhea, not wanting to drink. Not really eating some days had a little soup or just dry bread. Not atually being sick but feeling sick. Doctor prescibed me Dicycloverine to curb the tummy aches, but I still have diarrhea and sweats. Can I take loperamide as well as Dicycloverine.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You have a tummy problem for 18 days with the associated symptoms as you have described.
I would advise you the following::
Blood and urine tests - routine and for diabetes.
Stool tests:: routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
A course of an antibiotic and metronidazole, probiotics.
Take Dicycloverine only if there is a pain and loperamide only if the diarrhea is uncontrollable.
