Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Cramps And Loose Stools

I started having a severe headache, body aches and chills Friday evening, watery stools and temp of 103.8. This continued Saturday with the temp staying between 101.2 - 102.8, even with Tylenol 1000mg q 4 hours. No appetite and no intake since Friday evening, abdominal cramping off and on similar to gas pains, sleeping most of the time, and still having watery stools. By Sunday, more wakeful, temp. staying between 100 -101.2, still no appetite, still watery stools and occ. abd. cramping. Did finally eat hamburger. Now, Monday, temp 98.6 - 99.9, still no appetite, no intake today other than liquids, still watery stools and abd. cramping (approx. 1/2 cup or so q 20 - 30min), abd. soft, non-tender, bowel sounds x 4

Hi thanks for contacting HCM....

I have gone through your query....
Here you are having acute gastroenteritis....
It could be ....
-bacterial
-parasitic or
-viral flu.....

I would suggest you to get your stool examined.
It might show pus cell if bacterial cause...
There might be presence of ameba or giardia egg or trophozoites....
It also might show hookwarm or roundwarm egg if present....

Take ornidazole antibiotic for 5 days.
More water to maintain hydration with ORS.
Fruit juice taken more...
Soft and bland diet taken ....
Small meal with frequent interval....
Avoid heavy fatty and fried food....
Avoid smoking and alcohol....
Probiotic tablet taken....

If hook or round warm positive albendazole needed....

I hope your concern solved...

If still cause not clear better to consult gastrienterologist for proper physical examination.....

Banana mashed and taken help to maintain lost pottasium like electrolyte.
