Suggest Treatment For Bloating And Diarrhea
Recently got back from a cruise and on the cruise they had a breakout of norovirus. I was not included in breakout but I did have diarrhea. I had a really bad stomach pain and went into the dr and he just said I should get an ultrasound done to see if I hade overran cists. It s now been 4 days without BM and just have a clear discharge. Should I just get stool softener? Or go see a dr? And what kind of dr? I am only 25. I am bloated and have been eating like I always have. Any help would be nice.

Hello,
Your symptoms of abdomen pain indicates you have been infected. You can follow the below mentioned treatment. Since you haven't had a bowel movement since 4 days, you can have stool softener like Cremaffin or Looz. If you still have pain abdomen, you can use a tab. Cyclopam.
If you start passing stools so many times in a day like diarrhea, you need to take tab. Oflox oz twice daily for 5 days. To control infection. To control diarrhea, you can use tab. Loperamie once daily for 2 days. Oral rehydration solution is the mainstay of treatment. Drink more of ORS to compensate fluid and electrolyte loss.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
