Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent bowel movements softer than normal which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which seems to be due to viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body. The symptoms can also occur due to gastritis , IBS or food intolerance. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should take Ibuprofen along with proton pump inhibitors as well. You should take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate . Also drink warm water with lemon and honey and eat banana. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
