What Causes Vomiting Along With Diarrhea?
I ve been vomiting for about two days along with diarreha. My vomiting went away but am have diarreha still for about the 5th day and it just looks like a green liquid. I have no appitite but tried to eat soup and crackers. I feel like I have to go to the bathroom every few mintues and my stomach keeps rumbling throughout the day. I feel weak, tired, and dehydrated. Should I be concerned?

Hello. I am Dr. Praveen and I will be answering your question today.
Yes, two days of vomiting and diarrhoea would have led you to lose plenty of fluids and salt from the body. Thats why you are feeling tired. Your stools are greenish because your tummy is nearly empty. What you need to do is to keep yourself hydrated. Plain water wont do. You should take some tender coconut water/lime juice with added salt and sugar/rice water (kanji) with salt/juices/butter milk/over the counter electrolyte packs (ORS). That will make you feel a lot better.
Since you are having both vomiting and diarrhoea you probably have gastroenteritis. Fever is present for many but not very essential. You should take Tab Norfloxacin-Tinidiazole 1 tab twice a day for 3 days.
Take diet that is easy on the tummy. Green tea/black tea with lime/porridge/curd rice/Idly (indian dish)/bread are all ideal. Avoid spice and oily dishes and packed foods.
Wishing you good health. Please feel free to drop in any more queries if need be.
Warm regards,
Dr Praveen Jeyapathy
