Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My sister was spray painting outside yesterday (I was concerned about the fumes then) today she s got severe abdominal pain, pain in the legs and nauseau ... she describes it like serious period pains (she s 65) ... should I take her to the ER ---- poison control? She doesn t think she needs to go....?
Hi.. the paints might contain lead and other chemicals which she might have inhaled accidentally...these poisons tend to cause gut symptoms along with neurological and hemotological manifestations..It will be better if you take her to the ER soon... Succimer or EDTA are usually given as cheating agents to reduce poisoning along with supportive care.. .. Thank you.
