Chronic Diarrhea, Loose Stools, Red Itchy Bumps, Sweating. On Pepto, Medication, No Relief. Treatment?
Hello, I have had diarrhea for ten days now it started on Thursday while I was in XXXXXX visiting and ever since I got home to XXXXX on the fourth it has still been happening. I have had loose stools and now it s all liquid, I have used pepto and medicine to get rid of it, but it has not gone away. I also have these raised red bumps and they have just been feeling itchy, I use the anti-iching cream that is suppost to stop the itching like it usually does, but it hasn t stopped the itching I have also had this for ten days. I also vomited two days before I left on the 23rd. I didn t have any problems after until Thursday. I am sixteen years old, and have been experiencing weight loss from diarerhea, red bumps that itch and will not go away, and today I woke up sweaty and hot for the first time. Should I seek a doctor? My mom says this is normal and will experience this for about another week.

take antiallergic tab fexofenadine 120 mg bd
tab cpm night
and liquid antacid tds
with application of antiallergic creams on skin
continue 3 week
lot of warm water and electrolyte powder to cope up electrolytes lost in diarhea
if there is recurence go for blood serum tests for specific antibodies for foods we take daily and pollens
