Loose motion and fever
Hello Doctor,
I have had a fever, frequent bowel movements, and excess gas/bloating for the last 5 days.
Stool: Frequent urge to go, but not watery (semi-formed/regular consistency).
Gas: Experiencing significant gas/bloating alongside the frequent urges.
Fever: Persistent; returns after Dolo 650 wears off.
Medicines taken: Dolo 650 and Loperamide (neither has resolved the problem).
Please advise on the right treatment

Before further treatment you have to consult the doctor for blood tests.
After that any medication should be started.
Stay hydrated and eat light food.

consult physician today to assess for an intestinal infection or other causes of prolonged fever.
Investigations such as CBC, CRP, and stool examination are required.
Avoid taking Loperamide without medical advice, especially if you have fever, as it may be inappropriate in certain intestinal infections.
Maintain adequate hydration with ORS and light meals.
Continue paracetamol for fever as per the recommended dose, if suitable for you.
Seek urgent care if you develop severe abdominal pain, blood in stools, persistent vomiting, dehydration, or worsening fever

All you need is to give your bowel rest and time to recover. Drink plenty of water (around 2-3 litres per day) . And drink ORS 1 sachet in 1 litre water around 200-250 ml after each episode of diarrhea. If you are unable to drink fluid consult. Don't take loperamide as it can harm more if it's infective diarrhea. Also require more history for further guidance. Can consult for further guidance.

Hello sir
Fever with frequent stools for 5 days may suggest an infective gastroenteritis. Continue adequate fluids/ORS and avoid self-medication with loperamide, especially if fever persists.
Please get evaluated if fever continues or if there is blood in stools, severe abdominal pain, vomiting or dehydration.
For further management, consult me through Practo

Fever persisting for 5 days with frequent stools needs an in-person assessment rather than more self-medication. Take plenty of ORS and fluids; avoid loperamide while fever is present, especially if blood or mucus appears.
Please do not start antibiotics without examination and appropriate tests, as the cause could be intestinal infection or another systemic illness.
Use paracetamol only as directed and seek urgent care for severe weakness, dehydration, persistent vomiting, blood in stool, or worsening fever.
You can book a Practo consult or visit me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.
Next Steps
Arrange an in-person evaluation today for examination, hydration status, and targeted tests; do not delay if fever continues or you feel faint.

Five days of fever and loose motions that keep coming back despite Dolo and Loperamide points to something that needs proper testing, not another round of the same medicines.
Next Steps
Please see a physician for a stool test and basic blood work this week to identify the actual cause.
Health Tips
Stay hydrated with ORS, and go in sooner if you notice blood in the stool or ongoing weakness.
