Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 26-year-old female. For the last two weeks, I have been feeling cramps in my stomach, headaches, and frequent urination. I also experienced swollen legs when I used to stand for longer periods. I am feeling very tired, sometimes feeling like vomiting. I feel there is gas in the abdomen and a feverish feeling. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.

These symptoms could be caused by a variety of factors, including gastrointestinal issues, hormonal changes, etc. The treatment for gastroenteritis typically focuses on managing symptoms and preventing dehydration. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replenish what you have lost through vomiting or diarrhea. Water, clear broths, electrolyte-rich drinks, and oral rehydration solutions (ORS) can be beneficial. Avoid drinks that can worsen symptoms, such as caffeine, alcohol, and sugary beverages.

2. Rest your stomach: Avoid solid foods for a few hours and gradually reintroduce bland, easy-to-digest foods like rice, toast, bananas, and boiled potatoes. Avoid fatty, spicy, or greasy foods, as they can aggravate symptoms.

3. Medications: Over-the-counter medications like bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) can help relieve symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

4. Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, especially after using the bathroom and before handling food, to prevent the spread of infection.

5. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

If symptoms persist, worsen, or if you have concerns, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and guidance on appropriate treatment options.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards.
