stomach bug or call the doc?

SarahTx5701 · July 2010

My stomach is hugely bloated and in so much pain right now.

It hurts pretty bad way up high and wraps around my back. I threw up three times, I have a low grade fever. 99.6.

I ate lots of crap today. half a sandwhich, some chips & dip and of course my ice cream for dessert.

Does this sounds like a bug, too much crap food, or something I need to call the doc?

I'm afriad to drink or eat anything because I loathe throwing up again. uuuuuugh

Call your doctor -- even if it is just a stomach bug, when you are pregnant it is best to check in. He/she may have a recommendation of something you could take/do to ease symptoms while pregnant that you didn't think of yet.

I have been home from work today after having diarrhea last night, vomiting this morning, low grade fever, and pounding headache / sinus pressure. I know it is a mild infection b/c 4 of my patients this week had similar symptoms, so I didn't call -- I just took what I knew I could take and it's already improving. But if you aren't a health care practitioner, it doesn't hurt to give them a call and check in.

Call your doc and see what they say. They'll probably want to keep an eye on the fever. You could take a Tylenol to keep it at bay for a while. See what they say!
