On Antibiotics For Kidney Infection And Virus, Constantly Sick. Is There A Permanent Cure ?

I've been to the hospital as I was very ill throwing up every half hour for a full day, I got diagnosed with a virus and a kidney infection at the same time. It's now the fourth day, my virus has seemed to of gone, im just on antibiotics for my kidney infection, however every time I try to eat it feels like it's sitting in my throat, like I need to be sick constantly, and I haven't pooped since a week ago, I've tried to eat quite a bit but I don't need to poop at all? What's going on?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you have been experiencing. Having been unable to go to the toilet is probably caused by the very little amount of food that you eat. we need enough residues after digestion in order to be able to fill the rectum and excite the defecation reflex. As you get better with treatment, for sure you would start pooping good.

Try to eat with much water and help relief yourself of the impression of food sticking in your throat. this will help improve your food intake.

I hope you find this helpful and it addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
