What causes fever, sore throat and runny nose along with abdominal pain?
Patient: I am 18,female.I just became sick on Sunday. I had fever,chills,sore throat,stuffy/runny nose & starting last night I began to get sharp pains in my left abdominal area. I have to pee often & nothing really comes out. It also hurts a little when I move. Doctor: Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.From your symptoms it seems that you have got a urinary tract infection (UTI) with a possible pelvic inflammatory disease specially if you are sexually active. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a urine test (routine, microscopic and culture sensitivity), a blood test for CBC, and treat accordingly. I might go for an ultrasound of the abdomen in case urine test did not show anything. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations. Till then, I would advise you for an alkaliser, plenty of liquids, and an anti inflammatory drug, along with a decongestant for a stuffy/runny nose.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
