What Causes Vomiting And Diarrhea With Vertigo?
Brief Answer:
consider meds such as dramamine or peptobismol
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Vertigo can be associated with nausea and vomiting commonly but it is not normally associated with diarrhea.
It is most usually caused by conditions of the inner ear.
The presence of diarrhea may indicate that there is an infection of the gastrointestinal tract.
Drinking water,as you are trying to do, is important because it would prevent the dehydration that can occur with fluid loss.
The use of medications such as peptobismol and dramamine may help.
The dramamine would work only for the nausea and vomiting but would not affect the diarrhea.
Peptobismol may help both, if you wish you can use them together, there is no interaction.
Also use only very small amounts of fluids at a time. Use initally 1 tsp to 1 tbs every 5 minutes.If this is tolerated, then the amounts and frequency can be increased.
Hold off any solid food till there is a 4 hour window with no symptoms
Consider probiotics, they can shorten the course of diarrhea. They can be used on their own or with certain yogurts.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
