Hi,
I don't have specific advice because I'm no expert on causes and treatments - HOWEVER, like vomiting, coughing, or even a runny nose your body is trying to expel something and it is best to let nature run it's course - DO NOT take medications to keep you from expelling the bad stuff.
please, it is a bit embarrassing, but it is a part of nature, please know that.
do you have a doctor you can call? or call anywhere and describe your symptoms, etc... feel free to tell them that the severity is such that you are unwilling to leave your friendly neighborhood bathroom and would really appreciate not having to travel.
if you have a really phlegmy cold you may be expelling the ingested phlegm, making for the creepy color and un-texture, try to blow your nose - gently - and if you are coughing spit out into a tissue any mucous possible.
drink plenty of water to help in the expelling process, i know that sounds weird, but it will help to flush out your system.
also, try getting LOTS of vitamin c, citrus juices, pills, etc... try about 2000-3000 mgs, you cannot overdose on vitamin c, your body will expel what it doesn't absorb, but it will help with the cold.
don't let it go on too long without seeking some help, there may be something serious going on.
Best Wishes
Bird Flu??
Sounds more like mad cow disease to me.
Have you ate any Cafeteria food lately???
Or Taco bell???
Lord.
you better get that checked out.
For now. Stay away from Chickens and Cows.
Drink some flour and water. 1 teaspoon of lour in an 8 oz glass. This will stop the scoots, but won't help anything else like fever, aches and pains.
well I think you're going to have to go to the hospital, I kinda have the same problem because every time I eat something with lactose, I have to go to the restroom immediately, but I think you should go, it could be any infection, or any other thing you can have in your stomach....good luck!!!
Go to the pharmacy and get electrolyte sache. Also ask for LOMOTIL or IMODIUM which can stop diarrhia and cramp.If you are not well in 24 hrs you have to goto ER as you might need drips.
Try the BRAT diet:
Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast
Also, little sips of water. Going to the ER won't help unless you become dehydrated. You'll know you are dehydrated when your urine become really dark, your mouth is really dry & your skin becomes taut. Good luck! This should pass soon.
