Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain, Fever And Loss Of Appetite
Question: I am a 60 year old female and have been feeling poorly all week. Stomach pain, fever ONLY in the evening, and I really feel it when it comes on. Poor appetite and stomach ache. We were with our 2 and 4 year old granddaughters last weekend.
Brief Answer:
What are the temperature readings?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this down feeling and the fever you have reported. You seem not to have reported any other specific symptoms making this more likely to be a viral infection/flu. I will suggest that you take tylenol, eat well and rest enough. Also, increased fluid intake and exercise are helpful in the recovery process.
Finally, I will like to know what the temperature readings are. Fever from viral infections rarely go beyond 101.3F. If it is higher than this, I might suggest that we get some laboratory investigations done. Kindly communicate the values to me for more insights and guidance.
I hope this helps and guides. I hope to hear from you. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
