Suggest medication for flu causing diarrhea and nausea
Patient: back in november I had come down with flu like symptoms, diahrreah, nausea, vomiting and fatigue! Ihad been working and relapsed in december! I went to see my doctor and he had put me on 10 500mg pills of levaquin and nexium and 2 weeks of rest! he had drawn more blood and my wbc was at 15.4 and my vitain d levels down to 16! he sent me to a hematologist and the hematologist said it was propably a viral infection and he couldn,t do anything and it would propably take me another month to recover and my wbc should be back down to normal! He drew 2 vials of blood! A week later I had to see my doctor again and my wbc count was still at 14.3 nd my nuerophils were at 12.8! My doctor drew a vial of blood and my wbc was at 13,000, i asked after a month and a half of resting why it had taken so long to drop and he said the cells were reacting to something! 2 small nodules were found in my right lung, one 5mm and one 2.5 mm! I saw 2 respiratory specialists and they said they were to small to cause an illness and were to small to do anything with! My mother had one 5mm nodule in her lung and some years later it turned malignant! I still get fatigued and at times feel like I am coming down with a cold! What could I have caught and could more have been done? Doctor: HiThanks posting on HCMViral infections may give you the symptoms you describe.However, viral infections may not have any particular treatment and symptomatic treatment/rest and healthy diet will do.The small nodules may pose no problem yet but should not however be neglected.It could just be reactional lymph nodes if mediastinal.A past history of lung cancer in your mother predisposes you to developing it but its still too early to conclude as other arguments will be needed to diagnose.A CT scan or MRI may help.I will suggest you get closer to your lung specialist for regular follow-up.Hope my answer will help youBest regards
