Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And Pain In The Ribs In An Elderly Person

hi, my friend is a 77yr old female. She woke up this morning with mild discomfort on her left side under her rib cage from front to back. Now she is in severe pain, vomiting with dry heaves, and moderate diarreah. She is adamant about not going to the ER. Is there anything I can do to help her?

Hello,

With the above-mentioned symptoms, she should consult a doctor and rule out any emergencies like ACS. Don’t try to go for home remedies..go and consult.

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

Take care
