What causes persistent vomiting and tiredness?
Patient: My Husband has no fever, but has not got out of bed all day.  63 yr old male, bit overweight, at 3am last night he ate a whole strawberry cream pie and 8 breakfast bars right before bed.  5'11" 250 lbs  he has vomited anything he put in his tummy today, be it water, juice, anything.  Heaving vomiting.  Still in bed at 9:30 pm. Is this dangerous?? Doctor: Hi, I have gone through the medical history of your husband and understood your concerns. Your husband is going through an acute gastroenteritis (bowel infection) most probably viral. That is not serious unless his symptoms will get more and more aggravated. I advise to:- give him plenty of fluids (water  with oral rehydration salts (ORS), soups, juice, yogurt)- if can't keep anything, just give plain water with ORS- if he is no vomiting anymore, give tasectan and probiotics to stabilize intestinal floraIf still vomiting, then, should send to ER for iv fluid replacement.Wish fast recovery.
