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.
Hello. Just recently went to Cuba for vacation. First three days had really bad diarhea. Took an equate brand diarrhea relef pull and haven t been able to poo since then. It s been 4 days with no poo. And I m starting to get chest pain. What do you suggest I do.
As per my clinical experience, the initial episode of acute diarrhea of infectious origin was suppressed by anti motility agent as Loperamide most likely which is quite commonly associated with severe constipation. The current guidelines are: - Plenty of liquids - High fiber diet - Bulk forming laxative as Ispaghula husk - Aerobics and walking
Remaining in regular follow up with your primary care is very essential as it may need a glycerine suppository to be kept in anal region for impacted stool.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
