Suggest Treatment For Diarrhoea And Mild Fever

Hi. ..i have had constant diarrhea for the last 48 hours (like every 10 minutes) with some periods of settling. I have only vomited once yesterday. I have tried pepto bismol and immodium. I m now on my second dose of kaopectate. I seem to have a low temperature as well ( 36.1 - 36.4 c ). I m also finding myself to be extremely gaseous and all my innards feel bruised now from the constant pressure. I don t think I can make it to a hospital or docs office without having to go....can you please help?? I m in so much pain right now....

Dear
I can understand your concern .
I would like to inform you that there are many causes of diarrhoea . It may be some viral or bacterial . As you have mentioned you have pain also this is suggestive of presence of some infection . In the management of diarrhoea maintenance of hydration is very important . This means you have to drink a lot of water and if possible drink or later rehydration salt solutions that contains sugar and salt etc.
Apart from this eat soft and easily digestive food. Take curd in your diet. Keep watch on your urination .There should be adequate urine output .
You can take antispasmodic medicine for pain in stomach and some antacids also.
You may need antibiotics also but for that proper physician advice is needed .
Hope this will help you . If you have any other concerns please feel free to message message me . Thanks for contacting HCM .
