Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Vomiting In An Elderly Person
Brief Answer:
Hello. You require hospitalisation
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So at your age with both diarrhea and vomiting, i will advise you to go to emergency hospital services immediately. You require intravenous fluid support, few antibiotics (as it looks some gut infection) and anti vimiting drugs.
You also require some blood tests including your kidney function, and electrolytes, as these often get deranged in diarrhea and vomiting.
You should be fine in a couple of days with this treatment.
Thanks and regards
