What Causes Fever Along With Body Ache, Nausea And Vomiting?
I think that I have gastric enteritis--Fever was uo to 101.9 - now vacillates betwenn 99-100.4 I have HAD SXS FOR 5 DAYS--THEY HAVE BEEN FEVER, BODY ACHES, NAUSEA, some mild vomiting,very sore abdomen which had been feeling better--should I just ride this out or see my MD?
It is very likely you are having a viral infection. It normally should be better in a total of 7 days. You have already had the symptoms for 5 days and have started to feel better. I would recommend you to take plenty of oral rehydration solutions to substitute both water and electrolytes and also rest as much as you can. If you are not better in 2-3 days or you notice any worsening or if you are not able to take more fluids than what you are loosing with the bowel and the vomits, you will need to see your doctor.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj General and Family Physician
