Suggest Remedy For Diarrhea And Lethragy

Hi I ve been having the urgent need to have a bowel movement randomly throughout all of today. When I do go it s diarrhea that s yellow and mostly liquid that burns. I ve also been feeling lethargic all day. I usually don t have solid bowel movements but this is the first time I ve had the diarrhea and no energy should I book an appointment with my doctor, and if yes what symptoms and other things should I keep track of to better assist the doctor in finding out what s wrong?

Hi.
Thanks for your query in HCM. I am Dr. Aliem, and I am pleased to answer your query.
Passage of frequent liquid stools with burning sensation indicates that you have diarrhoea, probably due to infection. Lethargy is due to loss of fluid and electrolytes through stools. I suggest that you consult your doctor soon, since you may need i.v fluids to make up the loss. If there is a delay, please get a sachet of ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution- ask for one litre sachet) from the nearby pharmacy, mix it with one litre of clean water and take 100-200 ml of it orally for every liquid stool. Take plenty of water/tender coconut. Please note the following which your physician may be interested in:
1. How many bower movements occur in a day?
2. Any blood/mucous/black granules in your stools?
3. Do you have crampy abdominal pain/nausea/vomiting or fever?
4. Since when have you been suffering from altered bowel habits?
Please book an appointment with your doctor asap.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
