What Causes Stomach Pain, Gas And Intermittent Fever?
Question: I developed stomach pain, like gas, yesterday and intermittent fever last night along with it. The fever doesn't seem that high, but thought I'd inquire. The pain is still here this AM.
Brief Answer:
Possible stomach viral infection...following advice
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
From what you are reporting, the stomach pain, like gas, associated with intermittent fever is suggestive for stomach bug (stomach viral infection).
I advise to :
- increase fluids intake
- take antipyretics to reduce fever; however, watch out if your stomach pain will get worse due to medications.
- take probiotics to normalize intestinal flora
- take antacids to reduce stomach pain
If the pain and fever will persist, should consult with your physician to run further diagnostic tests (abdominal ultrasound, upper endoscopy).
Wish fast recovery!
