Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea. I vomited 5 times in the last 6 hours and visited the toilet for about 30 to 35 times. Yesterday, I had outside food such as burger, pizza, chips, bread, etc. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help you. Vomiting five times within 6 hours and going to the toilet for about 35 times denote that the condition is severe enough to warrant hospital admissions. Please do not waste time at home. Go to a hospital immediately and get proper treatment at the earliest. You may require antibiotics and intravenous fluid administration.
I hope this message encourages you to seek medical attention promptly.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.

Thank you doctor,
I went to the hospital and was prescribed with medicines that will help curb gastric and other sensations. I was advised to drink plenty of electrolyte fluids. If the symptoms did not get subside in the next 6 hours, then they advised for admission.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. Please drink plenty of water, electrolyte powder, and ORS (oral rehydration salts). If symptoms do not improve, then please get admitted for intravenous fluids at the earliest.
I hope this message helps you in managing your condition effectively.
