Thanks for the query.

You have provided with good information and I appreciate it. In order to guide you appropriately, I will need a few more details regarding your problem, so please answer the following questions in as much detail as possible.


Since when is your wife having diarrhea? Is there any fever, vomiting? Any blood in vomit?

Is there blood in stool, bleeding from any orifice in the body?

Any difficulty in breathing?

Any recent weight loss or weakness?

It appears that your wife could have developed possible gastro-intestinal infection especially if there is a history of eating outside food. Viral infections can cause stomach flu and can also cause bleeding episodes. Other possibilities include diarrhea due to gastritis and possible peptic ulcer since your wife has acid reflux. Food allergy can cause swelling around the eyes, lips and possible breathing difficulty as well.

It is imperative to maintain proper hydration in a scenario of diarrhea or vomiting to prevent dehydration which can be XXXXXXX Keep her well hydrated with home-available fluids like water, juice, but best fluid is Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) marketed by World Health Organization (WHO).

ORS XXXXXXX should be dissolved in one liter of previously boiled and cooled water and should be fed to your wife as much as she likes, preferably in sips to prevent vomiting.

It is highly advisable to get your wife to the Emergency Department to get her evaluated for possible serious infection or other processes which may be causing the red blotches as some infections can reduce the platelet cells in the blood and can cause high risk of bleeding anywhere in the body. It is a must to replace platelets in such a situation to prevent bleeding and associated complications which can be life threatening.

Kindly do not delay in getting your wife immediate medical attention.

Kindly do respond to the above mentioned queries.

I hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
