  • My gf is ill (started about 15hrs ago got worse about 11hrs ago) and has the following symptoms:

    1. Nausea (stopped vomiting c. 8-10hrs ago
    2. Diarrea (sporadic)
    3. Temperature (was in 37°'s now 38.1°, but had taken some paracetamol then)
    4. Aching joints and back

    To me it sounds like standard nasty bug stuff. However, she had meningitis a while back and is lucky to be around. So that has shaken her previously blasé attitude.

    Is it worth trying to get her to a clinic (it's 6.40pm here), and risk the inconvenience and discomfort of a taxi, or just wait it out for a bit and try the usual fluids stuff? She has got to be pretty dehydrated as she can only drink a little at a time.

    Cheers.

  • Personally I'd wait it out but I'd hate to give that advice and it turn out to be something nasty.

    Can you phone a doctor?

    We have NHS direct and it's great to phone up and put your mind at ease if she's getting a bit anxy.
