Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Started 6 days ago with vomiting, nausea and low grade fever and mild body aches, has continued with diarrhea (not frequent) but watery and nausea. Have had a day or so not vomiting but agin last night x1. The vomiting would only happen 1-3 x daily. No appetite. Don t feel terribly weak and seem hydrated as I m voiding sufficient. Just continue with nausea and occasional vomiting and / diarrhea. Thought it may be Norwalk?
It could be viral gastroenteritis. However, the symptoms should have gotten better in 3 days.
I would advise you to take probiotics like vizylac (lactobacilli) one capsule 3 times a day for a couple of days. It will help by regaining the normal bacterial flora of the stomach, the good bacteria. Drink ORS, keep yourself well hydrated by drinking fluids. Take a bland diet with bread toast, rice, tender coconut water, apples etc. Avoid oily, spicy and deep fried foods.
After following these measures for 2 days, if you are still not feeling 100 percent , get a stool routine examination and a basic blood test done.
Hope this information was helpful to you.
Regards, Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
