Suggest Medication For Abdominal Discomfort Caused Due To Lead
We have been exposed to a possible lead contamination in water from a defective water distiller. Our symptoms are abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, fatigue, some constipation, metallic taste in mouth. Blood levels are 2 mcg/dl for myself, and 5 mcg/dl for my husband. Should this leave our bodies without treatment? It has been 16 days since we last drank the water, and we are starting to see some improvement in the way we feel.
