Hospital

Post new topic

Ciarat

My boyfriend has been very sick the past 3 days,  on the first day he was vomiting and had diarrhea and couldn't keep water down. 
I got him stuff in the pharmacy but he hasn't eating in 2 days is very dehydrated and struggling to keep water down.
Has anyone ever experienced this before if so what should we do I think taking him to the hospital is the best idea but I'm unsure of how the health care system works here??

Easy one.

Hospital immediately as he's in serious danger of dehydrating and that's extremely dangerous in a hot country, more so than a cold place as it'll hit far quicker.

Yea great any minor questions , I can help if needed, my ex was general practitioner, then orthopedic surgeon, now she's trying to be retina specialist, so she loves med schools , ha, anyway free advice , if needed , glad to hear he's doing well ! She thinks electrolytes for a few days would not hurt considering the temperature!
