Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has not been able to keep food or water down for three days now. Went to emergency but was discharged after blood tests and had a drip for a couple of ours. He is still unable to eat. It has been ytree days now. Apart from giving water which doesnt always stay down what should I do?
he should be investigated further to know the cause of obstruction rather than being discharged. its better to go for upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy to rule out web. stricture. swelling , spasm or erosion. till then parenteral nutrition should be provided.
