What Causes Vomiting Along With Bad Smelling Diarrhoea?

My husband, 77 yrs., woke up having violent vomiting and liquid diahrrea for the first time in his life. He passed out a few hours ago while having liquid diahrea. I have never smelled anything like it in my life! if that makes ay difference. He throws up any liquids he takes in. It has been about 16 hours now and he just threw up the natural ginger soda I gave him.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Presence of vomiting and foul smelling diarrhea is attributed to infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.

Presenting with such symptoms, I usually treat my patients with:
1. Tablet Pantoprazole + Domperidone twice daily (to be taken half an hour before food)
2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily (to be taken after food).
3. Lactobacillus preparations or probiotics.
4. Antibiotics like Ofloxacin+ Ornidazole preparations, OR based on culture & sensitivity reports to control the causative organism.
5. Oral Rehydration Solution (O.R.S) for maintaining the hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body.
6. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.
7. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.

So, kindly consult your Doctor and start treatment as advised.

There is no need to worry, he will be fine.
Wishing him a good health.
Take care.
