What Causes Vommiting,diarrhea And Body Chills?
Question: My wife suddenly became ill on the golf course in the heat today. She is suffering vommiting, diarrhea and chills. She can't keep anything down. She ate some chicken salad along the course before the condition occurred. She is very thirsty but keeps vommiting water and gatorade. She has stomach cramps but no fever.
Brief Answer:
Needs fluids via a drip.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It sounds like she is experiencing gastroenteritis. The reason that she is thirsty is because of the fluid she is losing via the stool and vomiting. Her body is trying to say that it needs replacement fluids.
Since she cannot keep Garotade down it is best to consult your physician for replacement fluids. She may need fluids via a drip.
Use yogurt which contain probiotics - these will help repair the intestine and will speed her recovery.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
