I have dysentery, what should I do to ease the stomach pain?


A few days ago i got dysentery. I threw up a bit, got a short fever, and got diarrhea (im not gonna give ya details for your sake. =P). But worst of all is the stomach pain. Sometimes it hurts so much I feel like screaming. My uncle, who's a doctor who specializes in diseases like this, gave me these stomoch pills. He said to take two of them if my stomach really hurts. But other than that, what should I do to ease the pain?

Stomach pain how terrible!!! The best thing to do is to keep the mid section of your body warm. Drink luke-warm boiled water and sip it. It may sound crazy but even after a diarrhea attack still eat and drink but in small amounts. Your body loses so much water, and your stomach never stops creating acid. Your stomach needs food constantly to break down or else it will eat away at the lining and make your cramps even worse. if you take pain killers make sure you have something to eat before you take them or else they have a real bad effect. Lie down and have a hot water bottle or an electric blanket on. Make sure there`s nothing around that stresses you out. Take note of your breathing listen to your self breathe, think of yourself floating away to somewhere nice. Usually digestive disorders are all due to stress of some kind. So you might wanna find what your overdoing or lacking. Sip some peppermint or chamomile tea anything containing caffeine is not good for stomach cramps. Even if you are in alot of pain try and repeat to yourself I can get through this..Oh and as someone else suggested take some Mylanta that really helps! After a diarrhea attack follow this diet

The BRAT diet

B-banana
R-rice
A-apple
T-toast

If you follw this diet your stomach should settle....All the best

Have 4 cups Black Coffee immediately.

Tagomet, you can also take Lidocain mixed with Mylanta. That's what my ex-wife had to do.

Good hygiene and a little common sense are the keys to avoiding dysentery. If you're visiting or living in an area with poor sanitation, be especially wary of the water. Simply brushing your teeth with tap water or tossing a couple of ice cubes in a drink can be enough to make you sick. In many areas, the only safe beverages are boiled water, canned or bottled sodas, beer, wine, and tea and coffee (made with boiled water). If it's not possible to boil your water, treat it with chemical disinfectants such as iodine or chlorine. For extra protection, strain the water through an "absolute 1 micron" filter (available at camping supply stores) before adding the disinfectant.

In many places, the food can be as risky as the water. You should be especially suspicious of salads, uncooked fruits and vegetables, unpasteurized milk, raw meat, shellfish, and any foods sold by street vendors. In general, fruits that you peel yourself and hot meals are safer choices.

If you have the infection, you can protect others around you by washing your hands regularly with soap and water, especially after using the toilet, after changing diapers, and before preparing food.

Hope you feel better soon!

hot water in a bottle to put on your tummy usually works. Make sure you wrap the bottle with a blanket/towel first.
