Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter and I have severe abdominal pain have been throwing up (although that has eased), watery diarrhea, I have body aches, she has numbness in her hands and face. A guest this weekend got sick and we took her to the emergency room. It seems like it is a contagious virus. It has been 16 hours. I am wondering if we should go to the ER or urgent care or ride it out?

Hello,
As three members were affected it is food poisoning. You should visit emergency to get treatment for pain abdomen .you need tablet Drotoverine for pain and please take any probiotic.
Avoid dairy products for a few days .you also need antibiotic as Ofloxocin and Ornidazole two times for 5 days. As these are prescription drugs, please contact your local doctor, he will prescribe these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
