cold diarrhea treatment - #17562
I am feeling really worried and a bit lost right now. Last week, I caught a really bad cold and thought I was handling it okay until I started having these crazy stomach issues. I’ve never had cold diarrhea before, and I don’t even know how that happens! My nose was all stuffy, and then, I was rushing to the bathroom every few minutes with this diarrhea. Like, what the heck, right? I drank warm tea and thought it might help, but it didn’t do much. I even tried some over-the-counter meds thinking it would work for both the cold and the diarrhea since that gets uncomfortable real quick. I’m not sure if the cold is triggering it or if I caught something else. Can cold diarrhea treatment be different than just the usual meds for a cold? Should I just wait it out or see a doctor? Also, how long does this usually last? I’ve heard it could be contagious, which just stresses me out more. Anyone else dealt with cold diarrhea treatment before? What worked for you? I feel like I might be jumping from one issue to another, but I just seriously want to feel better already!
