I have pain in my lower abdomen and on the sides. I also have diarrhea. What should I do?

If you have diarrhea and stomach pain for less than 3 days, it is likely due to a virus. To manage these symptoms, you should avoid irritating foods and opt for easily digestible options like soups and broths. Drinking plenty of fluids is important to prevent dehydration. It's best to avoid taking Imodium™ unless absolutely necessary, as it could worsen stomach pain. Stay hydrated and rest to help your body recover.
