What Causes Diarrhea, Vomiting And Purple Nails After Consumption Of Milk?
my husband is a normally healthy guy but he drank some milk last night and today he s sick as a dog, diarrhea, vomiting his nails have lines on them and are kind of purple. I m very worried. He said that when he drank the milk last night it had a taste like almonds so he threw it away. They had changed the date on the milk so he said he got it cheaper than usually, maybe a dumb idea. can you advise me?

Hello,
Your husband seems to be suffering from food allergy for that milk with changed date. Please don't worry as the symptoms would subside in a day or two. Treatment recommendations are tab. Loperamide twice daily for 2 days for control of diarrhea, tab. Redotil 100 mg thrice daily for 2 days, probiotics like saccharomyces boulardii and lactobacillus are recommended for 1 week and tab. Ondansetron 4mg twice daily for vomiting.
Oral rehydration solution (ORS)to maintain his fluids and electrolytes. Drink more and more ORS. Avoid spicy and fatty food. Take more curd and yoghurt. If the diarrhea and vomiting doesn't subside by above treatment in 2 days, please do consult a physician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
