Can I get reinfected with stomach virus?

Patient's Query

I had a stomach virus last week, and when I wasn’t showing symptoms, I shared a beverage with somebody who later that day presented symptoms and became ill. Will I get reinfect

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Reinfection worrie­s arise when drinks get share­d with a sick person. Gastroenteritis, the­ stomach virus, stems from germs like viruse­s, and bacteria. Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps are­ symptoms. Handwashing frequently, avoiding shared drinks, and staying hydrate­d with fluids prevent illness.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out confusion and frustration. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.Sometimes diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion My doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) along with Amixide h(chlorodizapoxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain fade away.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just take those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. Can you guys help me to correctly understand the disease and ways to overcome it.

What is normal level of lipase

Male | 17

An individual can find the chubby substance-dissolving macromolecule in this system. It commonly breaks down between 0 to 160 units per liter when it is in a healthy person’s bloodstream. Having a high level of lipase can indicate something wrong with your pancreas. Some signs that someone has too much lipase may include pain in their stomach or feeling sick; they might also have a fever, etc.

My dad response and reaction had come slow after he had alcohol a week back ...He was fine and very active until then. He used to alcoholic in the past and was ordered not to have alcohol anymore. We have consulted him in Manglore hospital and currently we are giving these tablets...he is improving but very gradually. I feel he is lacking many of the nutrients due to which this is happening.Could you please check. Urosocol 150 Evion 450 Sompraz 40 Cardivas 3.125 Laslilactone 50

It appears that after consuming alcohol, your father may have difficulty reacting and responding too slowly. This could be because his drinking depletes nutrients from his body. Although the pills can help, it is essential for him to also take a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains which are full of vitamins and minerals that promote recovery.

From what you have described, your son may be having a gastrointestinal infection based on the recurrent gastric pain of fever and vomiting. Your son should have a comprehensive evaluation and treatment by an experienced gastroenterologist. The specialist may recommend further testing like endoscopy or imaging studies to determine the root of the problem. It is advisable to seek medical attention early in order to avoid any complications.
