I'm not sure where to ask this......

Obviously, this is not chronic, but I'm worried.....

Hubby has Diarrhea, Fever, Aches going on 3 days.....

Would we assume simply the flu or what?

Hi - I hope that he's better by now.


If not - how is his colour - does he look yellow (ie. - look at his gums - and pull down his lower eye lid to see if the whites of the eye look yellow compared to yours. If so - then immediate medical attention is required as that's a sign of jaundace and there could be an obstruction some where.


You mentioned it wasn't chronic - but has he ever had bouts like this that last only a short time then go away very quickly?


Has he tried any OTC medications? When I was awaiting my gallbladder surgery
