Question: My partner had sudden onset of dizziness followed by vomiting and diarrhea. This occurred around noon today. I gave him Dramamine about 3 hours ago with no relief we suspect perhaps food poisoning from breakfast as I am fine and had different food.

Brief Answer:
Probably food poisoning, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The symptoms of your partner seem to be related to food poisoning.
Some advice that I can give to you are:
- Give liquids
- Give electrolyte solution, which will replace the minerals that he lost
- Continue giving Dramamine three times a day
- Give probiotics
- Give bland, non fatty foods such as toast or rice
- Rest
If the symptoms continue, go to the emergency room to avoid dehydration.

Hope my answer was helpful.
