What Causes Flu, Stomach Ache, Vomiting And Diarrhea?

Goodmorning, I developed what I think was the flu on Saturday evening. Throughout that time I had severe stomach ache, fever, aches in joints, chillsbut no vomiting. On the second day I developed diarrhea. On Sunday eve the fever broke and I started to feel better but still cannot control the diarrhea. Very mucosy and then some blood today. Is that normal with the flu and as a result of not eating much?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern.Your symptoms are suggestive of acute gastroentritis due to infectious origin.
As you are having persistent diarrhoea,i would advice you to take antibiotics like tablet ofloxacin and tinidazole combination along with lots of oral fluids and fresh fruit juices .

Diarrhoea will cause lots of dehydration.So you need keep your body hydrated by taking lots of fluids along with antibiotics.Also take tablet paracetamol for fever.

If your symptoms doesn't come down by this you need to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
