On Friday I started getting the chills and noticed I had a fever of 102+. I took Theraflu thinking it was a flu coming on. However, I kept getting a fever every few hours. On Saturday, I started getting watery diarrhea. Later that night, my fever spiked to 103.3. I still have diarrhea and have to use the bathroom every 2-3 hours. I took a tylenol last night and the fever has not come back yet. However, I still have to keep using the bathroom and it does not seem to be getting better. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
I warmly Welcome you! Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns. I usually prescribe in such cases Rifaximin (Ibadan) 200 mg per oral 8 hourly for 5 days. Use Mediate for revitalization and fulfil the fluid and electrolyte losses. It seems to be due to gastroenteritis due to some unhygienic/raw food. Only Tylenol can not be effective. You may need to go to your Physician for prescription of antibiotics. Hope it helped you today. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to ask me a question directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures directly from the question window, or by emailing it to attachments@ChatDoctor .com with the Subject as, Attention:
