Any Suggestion For 85 Year Old Suffering From Diarrhea, Vomiting, High Temperature?
My mom is 85. She has a body temperature of 95 degrees, diarrhea, and vomiting. She has been sleeping very sound since i have been here (2hours). My dad says this has been going on for a week. I have been on vacation so do not really know. I think it is time to visit the ER. What do you think?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the diarrheal symptoms are there since days then it could be infection here the most important is dehydration and to rule this out first serum electrolyte need to be done, clinical condition also important, looking to her age it is better to see the ER, and no need to take any chance hope this information helps.
