Should The ER Be Visited For Chills And Abdominal Discomfort Due To Dehydration?

My husband was outside working in heat all day. I know he is probably dehydrated because he never drinks enough water. He looked right tonight but then started feeling sick. He has been in and out of bathroom and his body is shaking. Temp is going up and he is gassy. (Burping). His leg is really jumpy. Is this something he should be at ER for. I'm trying to get him to go even if just doe fluids

Hello,

He may be suffering from acute gastroenteritis or food Intolerance.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.

Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.

Use tablet Ofloxacin Ornidazole twice a day for five days.

If symptoms not improved or developed an allergy to above drug you may consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
