How Can Stomach Infection And Abdominal Bloating Be Treated?
I ve had two stomach bugs in the last month. One involved an entire night of vomiting and 3 days of exhaustion. The other just a morning of cramping and diarrhea with a few days of sore stomach. Now (weeks later) my stomach gurgles whenever I eat and I have excessive gas. Any ideas? YYYY@YYYY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your problem had not been solved and diarrhea still present. So, a routine stool micro examination with an occult blood test needs to be done.
If needed, a stool culture also can be done to choose antibiotic if any species recovered in culture.
Kindly provide history regarding blood or mucus in stool, fever or any other complaints if present.
The antibiotic course can be prescribed like Ciprofloxacin plus Metronidazole combination drugs for five days. An anti-spasmodic like Dicyclomine can also be prescribed to relieve stomach cramp.
Avoid excess spicy foods and consult your physician or gastroenterologist for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
