What Causes Stomach Pain And Body Pain Despite Having Gastritis?
Hello Doc I was having some body aches all over my body, and everytime after i ate something, my stomach ache. I went to a clinic and was diagnosed with gastritis. I felt better for a few days, but my stomach pain came back again. I went to the ER the next day because my stomach was really in pain, and was diagnosed with typhoid after a bloodtest. The doctor gave me cefixime 200mg twice a day for a week and some other medicine, i felt better again for a few days, but when i finished taking my medicine, the pain came back. I went to the doctor and diagnosed with typhoid once again. Its been two days since medication, a total of 9 days, but i still having headache, stomach pain, fever, lethargy, and now my lower right side abdomen is in pain. I alsa have kind off dark stools, but im not sure if its a bloody stool or not. It cant be appendicitis since i already have my appendix removed. I also diagnosed with GERD last year. So Doc, is it really a typhoid fever or am i misdiagnosed? I m really stressed right now. Thank you

Hello,
Since your blood tests show a positive report for typhoid, it is not misdiagnosis. But, you have not taken proper treatment & diet or rest because of which it looks like you have a relapse of typhoid.
Since you are passing dark stools, get admitted in a hospital. You need immediate medical aid or symptoms may worsen.
Typhoid infection affects the intestine, inflammation of the intestine when not treated properly may cause internal bleeding from the intestine.
You may get serious at any time, do not stay at home. Take semi-solid homemade food (porridge, custard, oats) that is oil-free in small amounts.
Stay properly hydrated, take water, ORS/Electrol, soups & juice. Avoid junk food, spicy & oily food. You need intravenous IV drip & urgent medical care. Get treated at the earliest. Do not wait till symptoms worsen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
