Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea, Nausea And Vomiting
Hi I have pain in my lower back and wrapping around to front lower abdomen. I have diarrhea, but no nausea, vomiting or fever Painful to bend over. Not sure if it starting in my back, and going to the front, or going from front to back Appendix issue or a pull in my back?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Idont think this is related to appendix or pulled back. This is more likely to be infectious diarrheas. Diarrhea is in most cases caused by dietary or infectious ones. If this is caused by diet then he should try to rest more and switch to a diet of clear liquids. Drink water, juice, bouillon and weak tea to avoid becoming dehydrated. Replace lost fluids and electrolytes with sports drinks. Avoid coffee or soft drinks that contain caffeine, since caffeine increases the loss of water and salt. If you have nausea in addition to diarrhea, take very small sips of fluid frequently and suck on ice chips. You should also consider over-the-counter medications such as bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) or loperamide (Imodium).In cases of infectious diarrheas, you should do microbiologist testing of stool and see the exact microbe and then antibiotics can be used additionally.
