Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My wife got a stomach ache yesterday evening, and it has been getting worse not improving. She also seems to have a fever and aching joints. She ate something spicy yesterday, and took antacids. This is not normal for her. Do we need to go to an emergency room tonight? Her foot is broken and in a walking cast, but still hurts her a lot so it s hard to go.
