How Can Stomach Cramps And Diarrhea Be Treated?

Hi, My son was sick with Diarrhea and vomiting on Tuesday and Wednesday but by Thursday he was better. we went to the Dr s and she determined it was probably the stomach flu. He was fine on Friday and then started getting the same symptoms today (Saturday). Bad stomach cramps and diarrhea but he still has an normal appetite and doesn t have a fever. My questions is, can he relapse with the stomach or do you think it s something else?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query stomach cramps and diarrhea seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which seems to be due to viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should take banana on daily basis and light food. Avoid giving any sharp and spicy food. Start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
