For the past three days, my diarrhea has not stopped. I am having almost 7 to 10 bowel movements a day, along with vomiting twice and a nauseous feeling. I also have high fever and fatigue. My family doctor prescribed antibiotics and other medicines, saying it could be due to food poisoning, but there is little relief. Should I go for a blood test to determine if it is something else?

7 to 10 episodes of diarrhoea, along with nausea and vomiting may indicate a stomach or intestinal infection. High fever indicates an underlying infection. If your doctor has prescribed you an antibiotic which is not working, it could be due to resistance due to that specific antibiotic. Consider getting an antibiotic culture and sensitivity test. Few more tests like stool routine and culture, CBC, CRP, electrolytes are needed for the correct diagnosis.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a STOOL EXAMINATION, PH & REDUCING SUBSTANCES Test or Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test

View allIs paste like yellow stool common with IBS? No matter how much fiber I add or how much water I drink, the majority of my stool is like this. I eat apple, banana, and oats daily in the morning for fiber. I do not eat junk food, totally stopped for a year. Is this IBS? Also, if I drink milk or eat spicy food, I have observed smelly gas after that. Please guide. LFT, CBC, urine, and thyroid are all normal.

I am a 29 year old single female. I have been experiencing stomach pain and diarrhea for several months. I consulted a gastroenterologist, who suggested that stress or IBS might be causing these symptoms. He prescribed Tab Novamcin RT, Cap Imodium, and Tab Revortil. After taking the medicines for a month, my pain and bowel issues improved. However, now I feel a heaviness above my navel. My doctor repeated some tests: TSH: 1.71 CRP: 3.46 mg/L Hemoglobin: 11.3 g/dL ESR: 110 mm/hr PCV/Hematocrit: 35.5 percent RDW(CV): 15.2 The doctor prescribed the same medicines again and added Tab Meganeuron OD, but the heaviness around my navel persists.
