What should I do if I have a stomachache and diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I am a kindergarten teacher. A few days ago, I had a high fever and diarrhea. Later, I ate spoiled food, and now I've had diarrhea for several days. It has been going on since yesterday, and I have had it more than 20 times. My stomach also hurts today, my throat is dry, and I can't eat anything. I have no appetite at all. I would like to ask how to deal with stomach pain and diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Consider whether the symptoms of gastroenteritis are caused by improper diet. Meals should be regular and in appropriate quantities to prevent overeating and reduce pressure on the stomach and intestines. Avoid hard, overly acidic, spicy, salty, hot, cold, or excessively rough foods. For patients, if the symptoms of stomach pain are severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of stomach pain. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
