stoneyboy Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Do expats actually subject themselves to living in Lamphun ? This in itself could prove to be an exposure to mental health issues. Edited March 6, 2016 by stoneyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 There is a virus like that going about in various parts of Thailand and Cambodia right now. Some people get just the GI symptoms, some just the throat, some both. High fever (meaning 39 C or higher) would be an indication to get medical help, as would inability to keep fluids down. A lower fever and able to take fluids, if the patient is neither a young infant nor very elderly, could try just managing at home symptomatically - paracetemol for the fever and any aches, activated charcoal + electrolyte solution for the GI aspects, and plenty of rest of general fluids. If persist or worsens then doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attrayant Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Sounds like garden variety norovirus outbreak. Easily spread through person-to-person casual contact as well as secondary contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
