Should we take my weak 83-year-old father-in-law to the hospital since he is recovering from COVID-19, is barely eating, and has had loose stools on and off for ten days that have not improved with Vizylac or Norflox TZ?
It is highly advisable to take your father-in-law to the hospital for an evaluation. At 83, recovering from COVID-19 with ten days of persistent diarrhea and very poor food intake puts him at high risk for dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Since Vizylac (lactic acid bacillus) and Norflox TZ (norfloxacin and tinidazole) have not brought improvement, he needs professional medical assessment. Hospital care can safely provide intravenous fluids to rebuild his strength, monitor his kidneys, and identify the exact cause of his symptoms. Please seek professional medical care promptly.
