What causes high fevers/chills and sweats with back pain and diarrhoea?
Patient: I'm a 32yr old female and for the last 2 wks having high fevers, chills and sweats. Both side pain but more on the right that feels like someone is squeezing. Hurts to breath in, also back pain. First was throwing up, then diarrhea, that is now just soft and very thin. Stomach makes sounds. This has never happened in my life. I'm being tested for the Hanta virus, c-diff and some other virus. I've been the the ER twice, but feel like going everyday because of the pain. They think it is just the flu so far. Please advise. Doctor: Hi thanks for contacting HCM...According to your history it seems acute viral flu ...No need for much worry.Symptomatic treatment done....For congestion relief Antihistaminic given.Steam inhalation also useful.Drink more water as you have diarrhea ...Maintain hydration.If stomach pain is there as you have mentioned omeprazole given....Avoud stress .As anxiety induced panicity can lead such presentation....Hope your concern solved.Dr.parth
