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.

Take a STOOL EXAMINATION, PH & REDUCING SUBSTANCES Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

View allMy son is passing stools three times a day, two times normally and once in very small quantity. The doctor suggested a stool test. The results of stool tests are attached. After the first test, Walamycin was prescribed for 5 days. I gave it for 3 days and stopped because his stools became normal. However, in the retest, I see pus cells again in his stool. Please suggest what should be done next.

My baby is 10 months old. Ascaris lumbricoides was seen in her stool test report. Please tell me what this is and what the treatment for this worm is? My doctor has suggested that, since she is only 10 months old, we cannot give any medicine until she turns 1 year. Please advise.

My father experienced severe stomach pain and he also suffers from constipation. Now his pain is almost gone. His blood reports of liver and kidney are normal but the stool occult blood report is positive. What does that mean?
