gastroenteritis

Avatar f tn Being in New York could elevate the chance she is infected, since heterosexually transmitted HIV is more common than in most other cities -- especially if she is African American. But even then, it is unlikely she has it. And if she were infected, the odds of catching HIV from only a single episode of vaginal sex are very low, probably on the order of 1 chance in 2,000; and oral sex is virtually zero risk.
Avatar n tn Hi there, Ondansetron is used for treating vomiting. Constipation, dizziness and headache are the most commonly reported side effects associated with its use. These symptoms will ware off once you have stopped using the medication. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. I hope it helps. Best wishes and regards!
Avatar n tn After being told by you no worries because everything is tested thoroughly now but if I was still worried to talk to her Dr. I spoke with her Dr. about my concerns. He tested her at 3.5 weeks and it was negative. He also told me no worries he was 99.9999% sure HIV was no issue because everything is tested and retested now and it would make medical news, so again no worries which supported what you said. I let it go and all had been well up to now.
Avatar n tn My daughter is 14 months old and she has has watery diarrhea and vomitting. When she was born she was perfectly healthy, but once I had to return to work I began to give her formula and that's when she began to have these complications. She began to have watery diarrhea and vomit. I took her to the doctor and they said she had gastroenteritis, but it's been a while now and she is still the same? Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? Thank you.

Avatar m tn Shedding with hsv2 occurs anywhere from 15% to 30% of days. Swuints is correct that hsv2 is rarely an oral infection. When it is is sheds very little and if your infection is oral, it's highly unlikely you would ever spread it through oral sex. No chance through kissing really. You can shed the virus anywhere in the boxer shorts region, so using protection is the safer thing to do but that decision is completely up to you two.
505907 tn?1258369340 There is no "mild" form. Either you have it, or you don't. I am not sure how it is transmitted via lesbian sex, but skin to skin genital to genital contact is the most common.
Avatar n tn 8 Celsius and right now my chest hurts and the inside feels like it itches. What should I do? Is it because the infection has traveled? or the chest pain is because of the spreading infection?
Avatar m tn , eating T-Boosting foods like cabbage, broccoli, kale, nuts, onions, meat, bananas, kefir, spinach, rice daily....and I lost over 30 pounds so far and got stronger which is good. But 3 weeks ago I started getting moaning, groaning, bubbly, creeky sounds all over my stomach area on Sunday night (Sundays are my cheat days where I eat loads of junk food). No blood or pain; just an occasional minor pinch or swollen feeling.
Avatar f tn Every day since I went to the hospital to get checked out I was found out with gastroenteritis and 1 week later taking pills it went away. Now ever since then I've been going to the bathroom and what I've. Noticed is that my poop is yellow and floats. I think I may have malabsorption but I'm not to sure. I'd go to the doctor but my parents wouldn't wanna take me as I had gone to the doctor 4 weeks ago. I'm 14 and I'm overweight for my age. I'm 210 Pounds.
Avatar f tn I looked up the condition and it says you have vomiting and/or diarrhea, but i have neither. I am worried it is appendicitis, but the appendix is on the right side, not left. I am really in pain but i am taking my meds as described. Does this sound like viral gastroenteritis to you? I am in such severe pain just laying here typing this and barely moving.. Please help. Thank you.
Avatar m tn I tried to rub my penis to see if there is a discharge but there is no discharge but this feeling of a drop coming out happens 3-4 times a day. The itching is also there. My doctor said it is Non-gonnococal-Urethritis (NGU). It has been a week since I started taking Doxycyclin with no major progress. I have one more week of Doxycyclin left and will give it a shot. But I am not sure what should I do if this does not work. Can anyone suggest anything please?
Avatar m tn specialist he ruled out the collitis and said it was gastroenteritis he told me to continue the levaquin i was prescribed. its been about a month now and my stool varies with every deffacation from semi hard to pure liquid to very loose im wondering how i can repair this and get back to normal. i also have had pains in my lower left abdominal region almost like i am constipated but even after a bowel movement it it still there.
535089 tn?1400673519 Hi to all. I was recently Hospitalized with Gastroenteritis/Colitis and was wondering if anyone could give me some options for a good food regiment (liquid diet) that would help calm the intestines. I have had a recent infection including Colitis, Gastroenteritis (sp). I would also like to know what the best OTC antacid might be to calm the tummy. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn d wonder also about a possible STD (sexually transmitted disease), are you sexually active and if so, there is a chance it could be that. As I said in the first response, constipation as well as a gastroenteritis could be an issue. If you've had no loose or diarrheal stools, you could try a stool softener and see if the pain is relieved with that. Otherwise, a CT scan or a gynecological exam may be needed. If that doesn't show anything, I'd be about as clueless as you are now!
Avatar n tn The vomiting stopped after one day, but on Sunday, I still have diarrhea and my ovaries have hurt the entire time. My period is about to start, but my ovaries have never hurt more than 1 day before I start. Help!
Avatar n tn Hello, Diarrhea and vomitings can be provoked either by an intestinal infection or by illness somewhere else in the body. When they begin suddenly, the problem is usually gastroenteritis (or stomach flu), most often caused by a virus and sometimes by bacteria and parasites. Gastroenteritis is an irritation and infection of the digestive tract. It can often cause sudden and sometimes violent upsets and may be confused with spastic colitis.
1872406 tn?1320890391 We rescued a little kitten approx 6 weeks old who has been diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis. The prognosis by the vet is poor and I'm wondering if there is anything else we can do other than keep her hydrated and treat/prevent secondary infections. Please help- really appreciate any advice or past experience that you may have... Thanks in advance...
Avatar f tn Viral gastroenteritis is an intestinal disease set apart by watery the runs, stomach spasms, sickness or retching, and once in a while fever. The most widely recognized approach to create viral gastroenteritis — frequently called stomach influenza — is through contact with a tainted individual or by ingesting debased nourishment or water.
Avatar f tn Well, unfortunately, you can be contagious a few days to up to two weeks after a stomach bug. But usually it is 3 days. However, she may have had gastroenteritis, etc. which isn't contagious. I'd say you are in the clear but good hygiene to prevent illness is always a good idea.
Avatar f tn The BRAT diet (ie, bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) or soft easily digestible semisolid diet can also be taken. Antimicrobial therapy is indicated for some bacterial gastroenteritis infections. However, many are self-limited and do not require therapy.The specific antibiotics are taken for specific bacteria after stool culture. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar f tn Just a general question, how likely is it that HSV -1 is transmitted from a females mouth to males genitals while she has a cold sore
