Q:

I think I caught the flu 'the other way' but my mom is worried that I have dysentery. For the last weekish I've had a lack of appetite and in the last few days I haven't been able to keep anything in me...it all comes out the other end as a liquid  :-(. Also, my gut growls hollowly all the time.I'm trying to figure out what food will stay in me, but all seem unappetizing after the first bite. I've kind of been surviving off of popsicles...

Please advise! Should I come in or do you think I'll be able to fight it off?

 

A:

If this is going on almost a week, that is long for a viral gastroenteritis so yes, you need to be seen.  Please call 650-3400 for a same day appointment.
