What Causes Constant Vomiting And Diarrhea?

Mom has been throwing up none stop since she God home. She works at an assisted living home for elderly. She also has diarrhea. Does this sound like a really bad bug? I'm just concerned because she is getting older and I've never seen her this sick..

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of non stop vomiting and diarrhea can be due to causes like viral gastroenteritis, food poisoning, parasitic infestation,food intolerance, f,electrolyte imbalance etc..

As it seems to be acute can it might be most probably be due to food poisoning caused due to eating contaminated food..

As of now you should start taking anti diarrhea medication like Loperaminde or Furazolidone..
Take ondensarton for reducing Vomiting..
Take fluid replacement therapy that is drink plenty of oral rehydration salts by dissolving in wateras excess vomiting and diarrhea can cause dehydration that can be fatal..
Take more of banana, yoghurt, rice and cereals..

In case of no resolution in next 3 to 4 days or if symptoms worsen consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests and stool culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised antibiotics, Albendazole etc depending upon the cause diagnosed..
If it is due to food allergies the cause will be ruled out and eliminated from your diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
