What Causes Frequent Vomiting And Diarrhea?

Since of yesterday morning, I have been throwing up and had diarrhea. I was having troubles falling asleep which I eventually did, but when I woke up in the morning, it hurt only to stand up. Could this be a simple flu or sickness? Or should I go to the ER?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent vomiting and diarrhea which seems to be due to electrolyte imbalance in body. It could be due to viral infection leading to acute gastroenteritis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.You should get intravenous fluid administration as well. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food.You can take banana on daily basis and light food. You should avoid taking dairy products in excess. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment after prescription. You should get barium meal study done if symptoms exaggerating.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
