Understanding care
Clinical care may include assessment of hydration, illness severity and whether testing or treatment is needed. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help
Seek prompt advice for persistent vomiting or diarrhea, especially in infants or vulnerable people. Very little urine, unusual drowsiness, bloody stool or inability to drink needs urgent assessment.
