The symptoms you're describing, such as frequent loose stools, the presence of mucus, and nausea, can be associated with a variety of gastrointestinal conditions. These could range from infections (like bacterial or viral gastroenteritis) to inflammatory conditions, food intolerances, or other digestive issues. Here are some steps you might consider: stay hydrated: with frequent diarrhea, it's important to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids like water, broth, or oral rehydration solutions. Diet adjustments: eating bland, easy-to-digest foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast can be helpful. Avoid dairy products, fatty foods, high fiber foods, or highly seasoned foods for now. Rest: your body needs energy to fight off whatever is causing your symptoms, so getting plenty of rest is important. Over-the-counter medications: there are over-the-counter medications that can help manage diarrhea, but it's usually best to use these only if absolutely necessary, as your body may need to expel whatever is causing the issue. Seek medical attention: since these symptoms have persisted for several days, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider. They can give you specific advice, conduct tests if needed, and prescribe medication. Avoid self-diagnosis: while it's tempting to try to diagnose the problem yourself, gastrointestinal symptoms can be complex and are best evaluated by a professional. Monitor for dehydration: signs of dehydration include feeling very thirsty, having a dry mouth or skin, urinating less frequently, and dark-colored urine. If you notice these symptoms, it's important to seek medical care.

Ringworm of the skin (tinea corporis) is most commonly caused by the fungus Trichophyton rubrum, which spreads from one person to another. It can also be caused by Microsporum canis, which is spread by cats and dogs. This type is less common but causes a more severe infection. Terbinafine cream (Lamisil) is also available without a prescription. Wash the rash with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. Apply antifungal cream beyond the edge or border of the rash. Follow the directions on the package. If symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, see your doctor. Causes of weight loss include, but are not limited to, cancer, viral infection (such as CMV or HIV), gastroenteritis, parasite infection, depression, bowel diseases, and overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). The loss of weight and lack of nutrition associated with a chronic illness is referred to as cachexia.

Fever can be caused by almost any bacterial and viral infections. Some common fever-causing infections include sore throats, common cold, ear infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis, sinusitis, bronchitis, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, vomiting, and skin infections. If the fever is mild, general opinion suggests that you just leave it to run its course naturally. The simplest way to cope with the effects of fever would be by increasing your fluid intake and getting adequate rest. Ample rest is necessary when suffering from a fever. Avoid exposure to extremes in temperature, any form of strenuous exercise, mental stress and any type of physical exertion. Boil fresh basil leaves in water. Leave to infuse and strain before drinking once a day. Mix half a teaspoon of pure saffron in boiling water and have a teaspoon of this concoction on the hour while the fever is present. Fenugreek seeds boiled into a tea and strained can help alleviate chest congestion and reduce a fever. Mix half-cup grapefruit juice with half-cup water and drink this often to prevent dehydration and reduce fever symptoms. One tablespoon of honey mixed with ginger juice and lime juice are an effective natural remedy for fever. 1 spoon giloy juice empty stomach is also good for fever.
