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 husband has had diarrhoea and throwing up for the last 4 hours, myself and our kids had something similar but not as extreme during the week. This will be the 4th bout of a tummy bug in the past 4 months - we wondered if it could be related to water or the house as we moved about 8 months ago and have always been very healthy and lucky to have had anything like this as many times in our lives! We are also very clean people and I even got the house professionally cleaned so sore handles, walls, everything was cleaned!
Understanding your concern. As per your query your husband have symptoms of severe diarrhea and vomiting which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which seems to be due to viral infection and electrolyte imbalance in body. It could be due to irritable bowel syndrome. Need not to worry. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should take banana on daily basis and light food. Avoid giving any sharp and spicy food. I would suggest you not to panic at all. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should take Ibuprofen along with proton pump inhibitors as well. You should take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
