Suggest Treatment For Fever, Diarrhoea And Pain In Stomach
I woke up yesterday with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pains yesterday. I slept almost the entire day and night. Today, I got rid of the fever but I am having constant watery diarrhea that is like water and yellow and my stomach won t stop gurgling. Should I be going to a doctor or do I have a touch of the flu?
Welcome to HCM. Sorry about the trouble, you surely what we call stomach flu or gastroenteritis, I would hydrate alot, because you are losing lots of water from the diarrhoea, therefore force yourself to drink water if you have to, others have found success with chicken soup. I would hold off going to the doctor as these symptoms are self resolving, if this gets worse to the point that you cannot even get out of bed, then I am afraid that you have gotten to the point of severe dehydration and you need IV fluid to help you get better, so while I say do not go to the doctor, be smart about and do so with the early signs of trouble. Thanks and good luck
