To call or not to call

Dolls2011

I've been feeling pretty crummy today. Whole body aches and sick to my stomach. Some would say this sounds like the flu but I do not have a fever, no stuffy nose, no vomiting, and no sore throat. So should I wait and see if I feel better by morning or call the doctor today?

If you're even asking this, it means you're worried so call.  It will make you feel better!

with no fever, I would wait it out. Get lots of rest, don't push yourself physically, and make sure you're getting plenty of fluids. You don't want to risk going in and actually exposing yourself to something! Try tylenol and warm baths for the achiness.

I would call your OB just to let them know, but then wait before going to your regular doctor. Drink lots of fluids and rest. I have been sick (not the flu) for over a week now and went to urgent care twice since I have no regular doctor. There was not much they could do for me. My OB did want me to keep them informed. The only thing that has made me feel better is bed rest and fluids.

Well I am known to be a world class worrier...

This was my thought too since I don't have a fever. Thanks.

I'd wait bc there's nothing they can really tell you at this point besides how you probably already know how to take care of yourself.

I would wait.

Thinking I'm going to wait it out. That was my initial feeling but it's nice to hear the thoughts of others. The aches have gotten a little better. Thanks all!
