Currently experiencing stomach ache, vomiting and diarrhea. Please suggest medicine

Stomach pain with vomiting and diarrhea is often due to Gastroenteritis. The most important treatment is fluids, take ORS frequently to prevent dehydration, eat light foods like rice and curd, and rest. You can use Ondansetron for vomiting and probiotics for gut recovery if prescribed. Avoid self-starting antibiotics. If symptoms are severe, there is high fever, blood in stool, or dehydration, consult a doctor immediately.
Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing stomach ache on the left side since last night. It hurts more when you cough. Even after taking two pearls of pudin hara, my discomfort has not subsided. Please provide a suggestion.

Left-sided stomach pain that worsens on coughing may be due to muscle strain, gas, or conditions like Gastritis, and Pudin Hara may not always relieve it. Take rest, avoid heavy or spicy food, use warm compress on the area, and try light meals with plenty of fluids. If pain is severe, persistent, or associated with fever, vomiting, or difficulty breathing, consult a doctor promptly for proper evaluation.

Spasmodic or acidic abdominal pain is usually caused by gas, indigestion, or Gastritis. You can take light meals, avoid spicy and oily foods, drink warm fluids, and use antacids for acidity. For spasms, medicines like Drotaverine may help if prescribed. If pain is severe, persistent, or associated with vomiting or fever, consult a doctor for proper evaluation.
I've had a stomach discomfort for a week.

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)
Stomach discomfort for a week can be due to causes like Gastritis, acidity, gas, or mild infection. Try eating light, non-spicy food, avoid oily and junk items, take small frequent meals, and drink plenty of water. Antacids may give relief, but if pain persists, worsens, or is associated with vomiting, weight loss, or black stools, consult a doctor for proper evaluation.
