During a communication with MedLink, a crew member reported that both the flight attendant and they were experiencing symptoms resembling food poisoning after lunch, including diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach upset. While grounded in Basel, they had already taken Cipro from the emergency medical kit in response to their symptoms.
A MedLink doctor advised continuing Cipro every 12 hours for three days and suggested using Imodium and Alka-Seltzer as needed to manage symptoms. This instance underscores MedAire's ability to provide swift, professional medical guidance to flight crews, ensuring their wellbeing and preparedness during unexpected health situations.
