gastroenteritis

693811 tn?1245871706 The hospital I work in has had a very slow moving gastroenteritis going through patients and staff. I thought I had that already and it was just gut pain and was relieved with much yogurt. This virus seems to have a long incubation period. It's nothing like Norwalk.
Avatar n tn Most salmonella infections can be classified as gastroenteritis. Possible signs and symptoms include: Nausea Vomiting Abdominal pain Diarrhea Fever Chills Headache Muscle pains Blood in the stool Signs and symptoms of salmonella infection generally last four to seven days, although it may take several months for your bowels to return to normal.
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 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 n tn Most likely it had nothing to do with your sexual encounter 7 days earlier; the incubation period for viral gastroenteritis is typically 2-5 days. Those comments answer questions 1-3. 4) The duo test is marketed and available nationwide. Not all clinics offer it routinely, but any doctor or clinic can request it through such national labs like Quest or LabCorp (which have local labs in almost all cities and towns). 5) Overview: It is very unlikely your symptoms are ARS.
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 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 m tn I went to the clinic on Wednesday and had all the tests. She told me I did not have herpes and even tho I suffered with cold sores it didnt mean that I would have transferred it to you. I asked her if I could still get it from you and she said that it was unlikely now, as i would have shown symptoms before now, especially as you had such a bad outbreak. She told me i could walk out of there with my head held high knowing that i was clean.
Avatar f tn Hi Ruthy 49 and welcome! I think but I'm not too sure that it's possible,sorry!but first you need to do some blood test and maybe u are lucky and haven't contract hepatitis.Best look and nex time don't put yourself at risk...

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.

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 m tn My doc took a quick look at my pimple and said he thought it was nothing and way too fast to develop and transmit Herpes and gave me antibiotics and cream for us both to treat a skin infection. I'm still wondering if it's possible. I'm thinking it would be possible for me to catch it but unlikely I could transmit it to my wife and that she would also show symtoms that quick. What do you think?
Avatar f tn I’m a male and I had unprotected vaginal sex a few days ago and now the last couple days I’ve noticed some burning and tingling feeling in groin and no pain when I urinate? Now I’m worried that I caught something? I got tested and now waiting for results.

Avatar m tn Hello, doctors. I'm a young, sexually active gay male. From time to time I meet a man from the Internet and engage in safer sex practices like fellatio (mostly with me performing it) and mutual masturbation. I never engage in anal sex with these men, and I always, always ask about HIV status. My last test was two months ago and the result was negative. So, normally, I'm not very worried about HIV. However, I have a concern that I hope you can address.
Avatar n tn you have protected sex=no risk for hiv and your doctor told you that it is gastroenteritis so go and continue safe sex.
Avatar f tn My doctor diagnosed me with gastroenteritis and told me I could not have solid foods. What can I eat?
Avatar f tn If required (for better info and analysis) I can outline all the details from how the symptoms started and progressed and what I was treated for at the start and testing, etc. For now, I'll skip to the basis of my question. The sexual contact in question was no less than 27 days prior to my first sign of symptoms, and I think it was actually even more, up to 35 days maximum.
Avatar m tn AIDS acute period will appear similar to the symptoms of acute gastroenteritis? Symptoms lasted for about four days, infusion improvement in 3 days. It is the acute phase of AIDS symptoms?
