Dear Ask The Doctor: I have a fever, real bad dirreha, upset stomach, and I cant keep any food down. I ate some spicy tacos about a week ago, I am verry sensitive to spicy food. Is it possible that I have a Ulcer?
Dear Rachel: From the description of your symptoms, you are most probably suffering from gastroenteritis and not from a stomach ulcer. This is usually infective in origin, especially with common viruses and bacteria. It is usually self-limited and will run its own course. I would advise that you rehydrate yourself with fluid and electrolyte solutions. Anti-emetics and antibiotics may be requires if the symptoms worsen. |
