Should I Be Concerned About The Cough And Cold With Diarrhea?
My daughter is 34 she has had a cold and cough for a week and a half. Yesterday after she ate she felt nauseated and later in the nite had diarrhea and vomiting and her tongue appears to be brown. What can I do to help. Should I be very concerned about this. She does not have health insurance. Thank You.

Thank you for asking!
Cough and cold just need symptomatic treatment. Diarrhoea and vomiting sems like she got gastroenteritis. Needs rehydration and some antibiotics and fibrous diet. keep her hydrated and i suggest get her to nearby ER to sort things out. Brown tongue might be dehydration but too early to tell. she needs rehydration and a little help in guise of diet and lifestyle modifications and rest and compliance with the meds.
take care
