Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been having diarrhea and stomach pain for the past two days and the stools are dark in color. I have difficulty getting up due to pain. It started three days back in the night after I ate out with my friends. I ate fruits, sodas, and much more. The pain started the following morning. I am taking the tablet Lomotil. I am passing stools more than five times a day, and I am taking medications for the same, but it does not seem to resolve. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern and I will help you with your query.

Firstly, I am sorry to hear about your situation. I would like to tell you that diarrhea is a condition characterized by loose, watery stools that occur more frequently than normal. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including viral or bacterial infections, food poisoning, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. Stomach pain often accompanies diarrhea and can range from mild discomfort to severe cramping. Treatment for diarrhea and stomach pain typically involves managing symptoms and addressing the underlying cause. This may include staying hydrated, avoiding certain foods, taking over-the-counter medications, and seeking medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

I hope I have clarified your queries. Do get back if you have any further doubts.

Thank you.
