We had typhoid in Quintana Roo and parasites in Guanajuato. We're with tummy trouble in San Felipe. Will we ever learn? 
Can someone recommend a cheap (but not bad) doctor or clinic?

I was thinking htat the hospital is going to be pretty pricey - isn't there a clinic somewhere?

Just go to a Pharmacia buy TREDA tablets 2 a day for 3 days.

I agree, Lencho. Sometimes it is better to get rid of whatever it is.
The really important thing is the liquids. Nothing that is brown(cokes, coffea, tea) If you can find Electrolite, that will re-hydrate you.
If it lasts over 3 days, definitely see a Dr.

thanks everyone. i prefer to know exactly what I have rather than treat the symptoms. That's how we knew we had parasites (dyssentry) and typhoid.
I think I'll just go to a laboratorio and have a culture done. That way we can rule out parasites.
I'm taking probotics but it has been five days of pain and liquid chit.
bajajudy - 11-21-2005 at 03:32 PM
Lencho-Its the stuff in yogurt in a concentrated form...probably a capsule. I used to always take them before I came down to Baja. Now that I live
here, I have my own host of whatever but am seldom sick. I do eat yogurt almost every morning. There is a new one here called Activo(or something
like that). It is drinkable and full of good things for your digestive system.
Harvest-The fact that you are taking the probiotics and have been sick for 5 days tells me that you need to talk to someone about this problem. 5
days is too long.
I sure hope that you feel better real soon!

Central de Salud treats all Nationals and forigners alike and very reasonable - will refer you to lab if necessary.
Next to park just up the street from El Sambrador?? market.

The St. James Hospital is very reasonable, there is the SS hospital on Mar Bermejo Sur 1/2 block south of the main street , from the gloretta coming
from the north toward the malecon turn right its on the left. There is a Red Cross clinic in the NE part of downtown, I don't know what street. I
always just take a Lomitil, 1 does the job. There atre 2 labs in town on the main road coming in, 1 before the gloretta and 1 next to the copio center
both on the right side. Be advise the wait at the SS or Red Cross is comparable to the wait stateside for an emergency room and St. James is almost
instant, my favorite Doctor there is a retired Navy Doctor named Summers. They will definitley take good care of you, inpatient is only about $125 a
day, tell me where you can get a band aid in the states for that!
But you are not in the states!

Example: Got a splinter infected thumb, went to Dr. Lopez at KM 34, got cleaned up,shot,antibotic, lecture and 7 day follow up. $35 dollars. + Got a
great meal in his wifes cafe next door $3.95.
Later: Got piece of glass in hand and could not get it out, went to Urgent Care Clinic in Yuma, AZ, Waited 1hr,45 mins,10 minutes to remove, bandage
,get another Tetnus shot, no follow up, no meal and my insurance was billed$750 and I paid $85 copay.

OK, I know a this point you want to die. And that's understandable, I've Been There Done That. Lots of ELECTROS, WATER, AND LOMOTIL. Every time you
enter the John. When you come out. 16oz auga, 16oz propel or some other electrolite, and one Lomotil 2mg. You need a Dr, but this will get you
there. Your bod will kill the bugs or make them part of you. Right now it's about the hydration.

Oh man, i DO want to die. This is just like when we had parasites except we had fevers then. I almost went to the clinic today but couldn't get the
energy up to do it. I'll try manana.

Moon, all this advice costs you about what it's worth. If you are sick go to a medical professional, it will probably cost less that the internet
time you have used up.
