Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my name is Thomas. I am 46 years old and a week ago I had a bout of extreme stomach upset. It started with belching what smelled and tasted like sewer gas. Then I started vomiting and having diarrhea. They symptoms lasted about 24 hours and went away. Then last night it started again with the exact same symtoms. Each bout has lasted about 24 hours.
Many causes for vomiting and diarrhea like infection or food poisoning or food allergy etcetera. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid caffeinated drinks. Use tablet Ofloxacin, Ornidazole twice a day for five days. Eat a soft diet and drink ORS fluids plenty. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
