Lightheaded, Nausea, Vomiting. Diagnosed With Gastroenteritis. Taking Ondansetron. Easy Way To Get Cure?

Hi there, I was just diagnosed with gastroenteritis as of yesterday. I have been lightheaded, nauseated, vomitting, and have been fatigued to an extreme degree. I have only gotten Ondansetron as a treatment for nausea. I have had a urine test done, a cbc, and an abdominal ultrasound...all were normal. I work at a veterinary clinic in the housekeeping dept.. How can I get the proper treatment for this ailment?

Hello,

Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines caused commonly by bacterial or viral infection.

Viral origin will subside on its own. Symptomatic treatment and oral fluid and ORS will do.

But for bacterial with fluid, ORS and symptomatic treatment a course of antibiotic should be added.

Since all your blood, urine and ultrasound test are normal. I my opinion symptomatic treatment with fluid management is enough.
