DH is one of those stoic, won't even take a paracetamol for a headache types.
We're on holiday in West Africa.
Srarted yesterday evening. He couldn't manage dinner, or leaving the room. Still feels rotten this morning.
Symptoms are headache, bloating, lethargy, going hot then cold, he's burping a lot, no D&V.
If we were home I'd be leaving him in bed to sleep but out here I'm worried. We're taking anti malarials but I think it's too soon for that? We have been bitten a lot. We've been very careful with food and drink.
2 days left here in the capital before we head somewhere more remote, does he need a doctor? Don't want to overreact but I'm nervous being in the tropics
