My husband is 62 years old. He got ill 3 days ago with diarreha, fever, cold chills. His stool turned green, now it is green and brown diarreha. When he sits up his skin gets cold, his face and nose get purplely looking and he feels dizzy. I checked his B/P and it is 83/59.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you mom having symptoms of diarrhea, fever, cold chills which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis and electrolyte imbalance in body. It could be due to poor immunity and increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to owrry. I would suggest you not to panic at all. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment after prescription. You should get intravenous fluid administration as well. Avoid taking Domperidone. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. Give her banana on daily basis and light food. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate her.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
