Suggest Treatment For Fever And Dry Heaves

I started with a fever last wed. night running between 100.8 - 102.8. Severe dry heaves. Fever broke friday but still bad dry heaves. Fever just stated to come back at 100.8 today. I am a diabetic type 1, not eating to much or drinking to much. I also have an urostomy from bladder cancer. What should I do?

This is something you should see a doctor for immediately. You need to find out what is causing the fevers and dry heaves and get it treated. You might have a blood infection that can progress quickly into shock if not treated. With the fevers, dry heaves, probable dehydration, and decreased food/fluid intake, your diabetes is likely out of control and you could be getting ketotic. These are very serious life-threatening problems. Go to emergency now. Hope this helps.
