Hi, my brother is ill at the moment and i am a bit concerned, his symptoms have been vomiting, chills and sweating, he has been lethargic and has been in bed most of the day. He isnt hungry and has only been drinking water and sustagen all day, he said he is vomiting clear liquid (most likely water). He is 30, 84kg and has recently come out of hospital from a sinus operation (polyps) as he suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. Any help would be much appreciated.
Sellotaped on the symptoms that your brother has he is likely to have post-operative septicemia which does occur due to infection following surgery. He needs to be hospitalized and take 1) Appropriate antibiotics .2) I. V fluids to maintain water and electrolyte balance 3) Multivitamins and other medication like anti emetics and H₂ receptor antagonist like Sanitizing. This will help him to stop vomiting.
