Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Mercury exposure can affect multiple organs and symptoms are somewhat severe. For now, just symptomatic management can be done for your case. Maintain hydration with lots of water.

Maintain electrolyte balance and have a bland diet. If no improvement then a stool routine microscopic examination can be done.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thankyou
