I had viral fever which got better 2 days ago, but now I am having frequent stools with gas and stomach pain. What could this be and should I consult a doctor?
Frequent stools with gas and stomach pain after a recent viral fever may be due to a temporary gut infection or irritation. Take light and easily digestible food, stay well hydrated, and avoid oily or outside food to help your stomach settle. You can use oral rehydration and rest to support recovery. Consult a doctor if the loose stools continue for more than a couple of days or if you start feeling weak, as proper treatment may be needed.
