Hello,

Your symptoms of high fever associated with diarrhea, and pain overall your body, light coughing are indicating stomach bug. Continue taking the medications as prescribed by your doctor.

Take more fluids to replace the lost ones like water with oral rehydration salt. Fatigue and dizziness are due to loss of fluids and electrolytes. Take anti-diarrhea medications as prescribed such as Pepto-Bismol or Tasectan, also take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora.

Take cough medicines such as antihistamines, if it is associated with phlegm can use mucolytic to dissolve the phlegm. If still no improvement, get another follow up with your doctor as might need prescription medicines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
