Hello doctor, I am traveling internationally. I am affected by traveler's diarrhea and vomiting from three days. Day-1: Vomited four times, diarrhea five times. I could not eat anything. Day-2: I took Loperamide. The nurse at the hotel gave me some electrolytes. Took my BP - 100 (usually I am around 110). My body temperature was normal. I slowly started eating solid food. Diarrhea stopped, vomited once. Day-3: I was able to eat solid meals well. I took some electrolytes as well. Diarrhea and vomiting have stopped. However, I am feeling dizzy after basic day-to-day activities. Also, I went to the hotel downstairs to eat and I felt dizzy while eating the meal.
Hello. Traveller's diarrhea is caused by either contaminated food or water and is generally self-limiting with complete recovery in five to seven days. If you are feeling dizzy that possibly is because of weakness and electrolyte imbalances that occur with vomiting and loose motions and sometimes fever which is associated with it. You will need to take enough fluids and juice to replace potassium and get your blood pressure checked. If all is well, you are recovering normally. Otherwise, you may need antibiotics preferably a combination of Ciprofloxacin and Tinidazole for five days. Regards. For more information consult a general medicine physician online -->
