painful stomach aches, many bowel movements &cramping the past 3 days. i have a cough too but no nausea or vomiting. is it a stomach bug of some sort?

Accepted Answer

Stomach bug: try the BRAT diet.  You can eat banana rice applesauce toast.  See if you can hold down liquids first.  Advance slowly.  Sometimes it can last a while.  So long as liquids are ok then you'll avoid dehydration.  Over time if you do not feel any improvement then see your doctor.  The cough could be the flu so if you are having fevers then see your doctor early.  New treatment is antiviral medication

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. You may have a viral infection. They are usually treated symptomatically. Consider hydrating really well with water (at least 8 8 ounce glasses per day).  Gargle with warm salt water at least several times a day. A  non-steroidal anti-inflammatory can hlep with fever and aches.  In terms of upset stomach, consider drinking(sipping)  slightly flattened ginger ale or nibbling on small pieces of crystalized giner. You can also make ginger tea by steeping freshly sliced organic ginger in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. If you have a temp of 100 or higher or symptoms last a week or more, recommend seeking medical attention.

Question 10

packaging of 9.1mg menthol cough drops says i can take 1 drop every 2 hours. is this the maximum amount i can safely have?

Accepted Answer

A Drop In The Bucket: Maybe they're worried about too much sugar, unless they are sugarless.In that case, maybe worried about too much Eucalyptus(menthol)--tell that to the Indian chief in his sweat lodge!So,I really don't see a problem unless you're chewing them down by the dozens, which will defeat their rather meager purpose.All-in-all I'd say you could take a few more than that as long as you don't mind your breath
