What Causes Chronic Diarrhea And Vomiting In An Elderly Person?
Hello.My father (Aged 74) was suffering from continuous loose mention with foul smell all through the night of Oct 9th. The motion sometimes goes without his knowledge. The next day (Oct 10) we took him to emergency and they administered 4 bottles of drips and discharged him with few medicines. Today morning though he did not have any major loose motion but vomited. Can you please advise what needs to be done.
Hi, It seems that he might be having gastro-enteritis producing loose motions and vomiting. Now with treatment infection is under control but some symptoms might remain there for 2-3 days more. Give tablet Ondem for vomiting. Give him plenty of water, Electrolytes and ORS liquid. Give him light diet like curd, rice, buttermilk. Ok and take care.
