Should I go back to urgent care?

Have had a stomach virus with severe diarrhea for the last 4 days. I went to urgent care on the first day (Wednesday) because I had a fever, and nurse practitioner said to take Tylenol to relieve the fever and otherwise wait it out. It's now Sunday and I've lost nine pounds because even if I keep anything down, it goes straight through me and I have horrible, painful diarrhea every couple of hours. I can't even get good sleep cause I have to wake up to go to the bathroom. Fever was 102.4 on Wednesday and it has been down to 98.2 the last two days without Tylenol. My question is, should I continue to try and wait it out, or go back to the Dr. and see what she says or if she has some sort of remedy?

    Go back! At the very least they will rehydrate you through IV. Good luck!

    I would go to the ER. I am an ER nurse and for that severe dehydration I would go to an actual hospital

    I'd skip urgent care and go to the ER for sure.

    I would skip the Urgent Care and go straight to the ER. They can give you some rehydration through iv. I hope you feel better soon :(

    If you have been unable to keep even liquids down for 4 days, then you are most likely dehydrated. An urgent card will not give you an IV, they will refer you to the ER. If you CAN keep liquids down, just not food, then I would wait it out. Stomach viruses can sometimes take 7+ days to fully leave your system. And being that you're pregnant and your immune system is compromised, it will probably take you a bit longer to fight it off. Good luck. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

    My local urgent care can provide with a IV for fluids... if yours can I would go back in.
