Avatar n tn I went up there and took her to the doctor and she was basically told is was a stomach virus (gastroenteritis) drink plenty of fluids and it should go away in a couple of days but when I look up Gastroenteritis it says that it's common in people with weaken immune system caused by HIV. She took her 3 month birth control shot the morning before but I'm sure that didn't cause Gastroenteritis. My question is should I be concerned about HIV at this point.
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 n tn Hello! I seem to have unfortunately caught gastroenteritis. I was given Ondansentron and it helped immensely. However, I can't sleep. I'm so wired and my stomach still hurts but luckily, no side effects. Is this normal? Is it the gastroenteritis or the drug?
Avatar f tn (The hollow right under your ribs, in your upper stomach) Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, malaise and general aches and pains. For most people symptoms subside within 1-3 days but you're contagious much longer. You can still pass the virus through your stool for 2 weeks or so and it can survive on surfaces for a long time too. Just take it easy, eat bland foods and rest a lot.
Avatar f tn Hi, Common causes for dizziness with nausea include high blood pressure, vertigo, food poisoning, smoking, depression or anxiety, gastroenteritis etc. Certain drugs like antibiotics, birth control pills etc can cause these symptoms. You should get a check of your pressures with 3 consecutive readings for further conclusion on this. It could even be due to low blood sugars. Hope this helps. Best.
569711 tn?1216876935 Hi, The stomach pain could be due gastritis, gastroenteritis, and viral infection of the stomach. It could also be food poisoning which can cause stomach pain and vomiting. You may have sprained your neck during sleep. I would suggest you to continue with the heat and ice therapy and take a mild OTC painkiller. For your stomach issues please consult a physician as you need to undergo a physical exam.
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 Please remember however that it is unlikely that you had PID since your doctor felt this was gastroenteritis and, even if it was, most women who get PID do not become sterile because of it. I urge you not to worry. There is little good that would come out of it and it is probably not necessary. The right thing to do going forward is to commit yourself to wise decisions about partners and condom use. There is little to be gained at this time by giving you a course of antibiotics.
Avatar n tn Thank you, you were absolutely right, it subsided I finally went to the hospital and got some antibiotics, I'm mostly recovered now, I've never felt that bad before I thought I was going to die lol
Avatar f tn Hello, Without examination it is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis,but some of the possibilities for your symptoms are gastroenteritis and dehydration. Drink plenty of water as dehydration can lead to electrolyte imbalance which in turn can lead to low BP and hence dizziness. Hypoglycemia, anemia,infections,endocrine disorders like thyroid, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland disorders can also lead to dizziness and nausea.What about your last menstrual periods.
Avatar f tn Viral gastroenteritis symptoms may appear 1-3 days after you are infected and can range from mild to severe. Symptoms usually last just a day or two, but occasionally they may persist as long as 10 days. Because the symptoms are similar, it is easy to confuse diarrhea caused by viruses with diarrhea caused by bacteria (e.g., Clostridium difficile, salmonella, and E. coli) or parasites (e.g., giardia). If your symptoms persist, see your doctor for further workup and management.
Avatar f tn So, some kids do not tolerate antibiotics and antacids probably would not help. One of my sons had a terrible time in the toddler years taking liquid antibiotics which I assume you are referring to. SOOO much better once he was old enough to take pills. There are some antibiotics that come in chewables that might be an option (augment is one). If you are wanting her to be diagnosed with true Gerd, I'd wait until she is clear of these other things going on and begin tracking symptoms.
Avatar f tn I went to the doc after 5 days. He said its just viral gastroenteritis. 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.
1788584 tn?1315106518 Secondly Acid reflux gives you very bad stomach ache and usually lasts for a short time and you can possible be sick with it but feel much better straight away without diarroe and sickness ectr. I no this as i suffer from acid reflux myself. The term Gastroenteritis springs to mind as you say you have been sick and been havin toilet issues. This usually clears up within a few days and its like havin a flu virus or stomach bug.

Avatar f tn Said I was dehydrated anyway. ER ran labs and CT scan and said it was gastroenteritis. I also had a catheter and bladder infection while in hospital for stent and told ER doc that I still felt a little irritation but no discharge. He said my urine was clear and the irritation could be yeast since I was on a high amount of antibiotics. He did a pelvic and said it looked fine. After being on anti-nausea drip and fluids, I was released from ER.
1974739 tn?1326022445 Make sure they take blood for testing and get them to check for kidney function. It could be many things other than gastroenteritis, and you need to know exactly what it is that is ailing him, otherwise how can it be treated. In the meantime, get hold of some Green Tripe from your pet store (they sell it in tinned form as well as frozen blocks, but the frozen blocks need cooking).
Avatar m tn when i went to the emergency room they first gave me an x-ray and said my pancreas was swolen then they gave me a contrast ct-scan in wich the said my boweld were swolen they diagnosed me with collitis. when i went and saw a gastro. specialist he ruled out the collitis and said it was gastroenteritis he told me to continue the levaquin i was prescribed.
