Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been experiencing severe vomiting and diarrhea for the past few days. I feel nauseous and lightheaded also. What to do?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query.

I suggest you start taking electrolytic fluids (ORS) for the replenishment of your lost fluids in diarrhea and vomiting. Please go to the local clinic immediately cause a high amount of fluid loss would be dangerous. They might start intravenous fluids.

It seems you might be suffering from an intestinal infection such as food poisoning.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
