Is Imodium Advisable For Diarrhea And Headache?
Have been suffering with diarrhea since Thursday (6 days) along with headache. Have only been eating chicken soup, crackers and water since. Down about 10 lbs. I tried yogurt this morning thinking I need good bacteria in my stomach. Not good. Would it hurt to take Imodium if I have a stomach flu?
