Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My friend is 71 years old and woke up this more with stomach pain and now has a fever of 101. He can t keep anything down including fluids. A few days ago he fell and hit his head and twisted his back. Could this 2 things be related? Does he need to go to the er to be checked out?
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. This isn't likely related to the head and back trauma but he needs to see a doctor right away since he'll soon get very dehydrated. He may have either a gall bladder problem or pancreatitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ralph Chambers
