vomiting with low fever and dirrahea Posted: 11-18-03 14:26pm
I have been having lower right side pains
for almost a month now.
I have also been vomiting, running a low
grade fever, and have been having diheria.
I have been to the doctors several times
and he just said the first time which on
oct 6th to go home and take tylenol. Well
that didn't work. So then he thought I
had something wrong with my ovaries but I
did not. Then he said that I have acid
reflex disease but the medication he gave
me is not working. He told me that it can
not be my appendix because it should not
last that long. Its not getting any
better either.
Any advice would be helpful
thanks

Obviously something is wrong with you -
whether it is your appendix or not I don't
know. I seriously think you need to get
a second opinion from a different doctor.
If it is an infected appendix, once it
ruptures you will become violently ill and
if left untreated for much longer you run
the risk of death. Go to a different
doctor and tell him or her what your other
doctor has said and mention your
suspicions of it being your appendix. My
best friend in college almost died from a
ruptured appendix and spent several weeks
in the hospital recovering after his
emergency surgery. Put your mind to ease
and see another doctor. Good luck - hope
you start feeling better soon

Hello Posted: 11-19-03 16:12pm
I have a similar situation. Last new
years eve I got seriously ill (vomiting,
and diarrhea). I went to a doctor and
told her I have lower right side abdomen
pain, I felt nausea, vomiting, low grade
fever, and also lost some weight. They
tested me for all kinds of thing. My
ovaries, my gallbladder, appendix, my
kidneys, my lungs. You name it i've had
all the tests all except my stomach. It's
been 11 months since the incident, they
still don't know what's wrong with me, but
they tell me i'm in good health. I still
don't know whats wrong with me. So I have
scheduled an appointment with a gi.
Hopefully they can tell me what's wrong
with me.
To make a long story short. I suggest
that you take a more proactive approach.
Don't let them tell you-"you're okay"-
when you don't feel fine.
Make an appointment with another doctor,
get a second opinion.
I wondering if you feel ill (gas, nausea,
etc) when you eat. If so, you should make
an appointment with a gastroenterologist.
(you might need a referral from your
doctor)
i hope this helps

Right lower abdominal pain with diarrhoea
and fever is not going to be appendicitis
but could be crohn's disease
