When should I go to the ER instead of an online visit for vomiting and diarrhea?

Go to the emergency room for severe dehydration, chest or severe abdominal pain, blood in vomit or stool, confusion, or other life-threatening symptoms. Telemedicine is best for mild to moderate, non-emergency cases.

Can you prescribe anti-nausea or anti-diarrheal medication online?

Yes—when appropriate after a virtual evaluation. We focus on rehydration, symptom relief, and treating possible infection while avoiding medicines that could be unsafe for certain conditions.
