What Causes Stomach Ache Along With Diarrhea And Headache?
Hi, On Saturday (two days ago) I started having stomach aches accompanied by very watery diarrhea every thirty minutes or so. Yesterday was much the same. Today, no diarrhea or stomach aches, but I have a terrible headache, am very tired, and it feels like there is something caught in my throat (even though there isn t). This all started after I ate at a buffet, but I had the same foods as other people I know and none of them are sick. What could this be? Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Hello,
You have symptoms of gastroenteritis caused by Rotavirus or norovirus, salmonella or E.Coli. Contaminated food, unwashed hands or food that is allergic to you may trigger the symptoms & cause diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, fever, headache.
Take Loperamide, Pepto-Bismol(bismuth subsalicylate) or Metrogyl 400mg for control of loose diarrhea. Antacids and Spasmol(Spasmoproxyvon) for abdominal cramps. Take plenty of water, ORS to maintain Na, K level of the body electrolyte system. You can take Acetaminophen if you have fever.
Take food that is easy to digest, toast, barley, oats, custard. Avoid caffeine, dairy products, fatty food, packed or frozen food. Take home made fresh food.
If you feel very weak & dehydrated, visit ER & get intravenous fluids infused with the vitamin to recover faster.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
