Stomach ache

October 10, 7:30am Korina knocked at my room asking me to bring her to a doctor due to a stomach ache. I told her to go back to bed so she can sleep again and it might that the pain will be gone. But the pain stayed almost half day and this time she's vomiting. I decided now to brought her to a doctor and after explaining the cause of the pain the doctor injected her and let her sleep for a moment. The doctor advised me to admit Korina for farther observation but my girl refused to it, so we go home but I was given a doctor's prescription and advised to brought back Korina whenever the pain never stops. So the night came and I observe what Korina felt. The next day the stomach ache and the vomiting were gone but this time she's having a lose bowel movement hour after hour so I maintained her by giving her hydryte, skyflakes a biscuit brand and a soup from a steam rice to avoid dehydration. After going to the comfort room for eleven times, I gave her a medicine to control her bowel movement. So that night she sleeps okay but the next morning here comes the stomach ache again. So no choice, I had to bring her back to the doctor again for admission. I think this is not a simple stomach ache. So we were admitted but the doctor told me that again it is not proper to give a patient an instant medicine to stop the lose bowel movement because what if the pain was cause by a bacteria? Just give the patient an intake that will not make her dehydrated and as much as possible visit a doctor for some laboratory test. I really agree to what the doctor had said
and the next day we were discharge from the hospital.
