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 and I are 87 and 79 years old and on a recent trip we each had vomiting and diarrhea for a 24 hr. period. No other symptoms, and we didn t actually feel very ill during that time. We were staying in a place with a kitchen and cooked and ate only food from home that we kept in a very cold cooler on our 6 hr. drive from home, and in a refrigerator when we arrived. We don t suspect food poisoning....could it be a virus or what is your suspicion?
Hello, Most cases of vomiting and diarrhea are from viruses or bad food. it sounds like your food was good so the most likely cause was a virus. Regards
