After a couple of bad experiences i am careful of what i eat when in Mexico I picked up Amoebic dysentery i presume from a salad in puerto vallarta.after three weeks of symptoms i broke down and went to the doctor who prescribed some heavy duty antibiotics that took care of it. Also after a Tijuana trip i got SEVERE diahrea which after four days i went to the doctor who hooked me up to an IV and pumped 3 liters of ringers lactate into my dehydrated ass.They couldn't believe that they could put so much liquid into someone without them feeling an urge to pee.They also gave me a shot of antibiotics and put me on pills and soon i was better.I was told in this case it was a very good thing i went to the doctor when i did. Lesson here is if this stuff persists and over the counter meds are not helping seek professional help. |
