horrrrible stomach ache....please help me!!!


Question Posted Friday August 15 2008, 11:44 pm

15/f
ok heres the story.
i started having this "stomach ache" on sunday, and it has been the worse thing i have been through, i swear. One night I was in the bathroom every 15min, diarreha. Now, ive had it for almost 7 days, constant pain, i want to throw up every once in awhile. And now, it's mostly when i eat, about 1-2hrs later, im in horrible pain and i have a harder stool. I've been hearing that this is a stomach virus going around. All I know is that I am sick of this, I would like to be actually eating again and enjoying my life without constant pain and running to the bathroom. I've tried pepto, idioum, anti-dirreaheal pills, like everything! My mother refuses to take me to a doctor because she thinks it's just the stomach flu, which i heard can last like 3-6 days? And I am in 4-H and am going to take my horse to the fair this coming week and I am going to be very active. So I need this stomach ache to go away ASAP! I dont think what I am eating has affected my stomach pain, I think it's viral. But please please please please please! I need some help like now!
Thank-you!!!!!

This has lasted 7 days. By now, you definitely should be seeing improvements in your health. If you aren't, it's REALLY necessary to see your doctor.
It could be this stomach virus that is going around your area, but since we aren't doctors and can't physically see you to give you a diagnosis, noone here will know for certain.
Since you've had/may have more diarrhea, it is very important you drink plenty fluids, since most of them are being lost.
In the mean time, make sure to rest and try to get as much sleep as possible. Stick to the more plain foods (potatoes, bread, crackers, soup if you can) so it doesn't upset your stomach more.

Your additional information states you've had surgery and are on anti bacterial pills. Yes, this could be a bad reaction to the medication you are on and this could also be a reason for the hives. So really, there is no way for anyone here to be sure.

For the sake of your health, please, go to a doctor.

I hope you feel better very soon.
