Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have had abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea for the past six days. In addition, I have had dizziness and headaches for the past four days. What could be the reason?

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern

Did you consume outside food or unhealthy food in the last two to three days?

Kindly follow up with the answer for further diagnosis.

Take care.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

No, not in the last two to three days, but I consumed outside food last week.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It more likely seems to be acute gastroenteritis. So I suggest you to follow the instructions mentioned below,

1. Take tablet Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Domperidone (antiemetic) combination twice a day before food.

2. Take tablet Metrogyl (Metronidazole) 400 mg twice daily.

3. Take probiotic tablets twice daily after food.

4. Drink ORS (oral rehydration solution).

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them and take the medications with their consent.

I hope this was helpful.

Take care.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your suggestions.

What about the dizziness and headache? Is it due to my stomach issues?

Please advice.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, because of diarrhea, the body loses sodium, potassium, and water. And these can cause dizziness and headache.

I hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
