Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection.

I see that Imodium has not been effective.

So, yes, I suggest going to the emergency room for a specific treatment.

Meanwhile, I suggest using probiotics and continue a plain diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
