Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
* Your stomach bloating/ weakness could be because of lack of appetite, staying in bed ( no movements ) & constipation due to fever/ any antibiotics taken may add to the symptoms.
- Habitual constipation can have all the symptoms together along with fever.
- A stomach flue can have all the symptoms too.
- Fever due to typhoid does show these symptoms.
* solution consists of taking rest/ drinkings lot of warm water with pinch of salt & quarter spoon of water in a glass,( avoiding dehydration & stimulating bowel movements) & light diet while you have fever. Over the counter paracetamol pill taken with warm diluted milk & sugar would give some relief from fever. Light to digest food can be taken, A glycerin suppository for constipation can be used.
With some relief to fever... you can add lactobacilli preparation/ ranitidine pill over the counter
Consult your family physician if there is no relief / Fever is not controlled/ there is vomiting or pain in abdomen along with other symptoms .
He would examine & do needful investigations & advise for specific treatment as per need.
Thanks.
