My mom ate at a party last night and started throwing up with really bad watery diarrhea afterward. She's also feeling super weak and dizzy. What medicine should we give her and in what dose?

You can give her oral rehydration solution (ORS) to help replace lost fluids and electrolytes. Additionally, you can give her Loperamide at a dose of 2mg to help with the loose motions. If she is still feeling nauseous, you can give her Ondansetron at a dose of 4mg orally, dissolved on the tongue, up to three times a day. However, it is important to monitor her symptoms and if there is no improvement or if she gets worse, please seek medical attention.
