I have had dysentery 6 times in the last 12 hours and am experiencing body aches; what medicine should I take?

Asked by Male, 35 · 4 days ago

Having dysentery six times in 12 hours puts you at high risk for dehydration. First, prioritise hydration: drink Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) immediately. For your body aches, you can take Paracetamol. Do not take Ibuprofen or anti-diarrheal medications (like Loperamide), as they can irritate your stomach or trap the infection inside your intestines. Since dysentery is typically caused by a bacterial or parasitic infection, it requires targeted prescription antibiotics. Please consult a doctor immediately for a stool test and proper prescription.
