Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I can understand your concern for your symptoms and my suggestions are as below:
1) This might be due gastro-enteritis which is inflammation of inner wall of stomach and starting part of small intestine. This condition might develop from irritation or allergy from particular food.
2) It can be confirmed by doing stool examination for routine and microbiology, total white cell count and USG abdomen.
3) Diarrhea with vomiting is prone to develop dehydration. Adequate amount of fluid drinking is essential to prevent dehydration. If this not possible then hospitalization for IV fluid support is necessary.
4) You can also take anti-colic medication to control abdominal pain, anti-motility medication to reduce diarrhea frequency (if >6 time/day), acidity medication to improve gastritis related chest pain.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any further questions, I would be happy to help you.
Regards,
Dr. Happykumar Kagathara
