Q. I have occasional fever with acid feel in chest and stomach pain. What could this be?
Hello doctor, I have on and off fever since last Friday and been having chest and stomach pain since yesterday (pain somewhere in between the chest and the stomach). I have a loss of appetite and can feel acid coming out of my chest a few times. I also feel like I always need to poop but nothing is coming out when I try to. I already took Biogesic for my fever but did not took any medicine for the chest and stomach pain. Can you please advise me on what medicines to take and food to take or avoid?
Hi. How high was the fever? Any other symptoms such as cough, colds, body aches, sore throat, and pain during urination? How would you describe abdominal pain, burning, crampy, or stabbing? Does it radiate to the back? If yes, which side? Does it occur after food intake? Do you wake up in the middle of the night because of the pain? Any other symptoms such as yellowish discoloration of the eyes or skin, nausea, or vomiting? I suggest taking Omeprazole 20 mg, 1 capsule 30 minutes prior to breakfast but may take one dose today. Complete blood count. Omeprazole 20 mg one capsule 30 minutes prior to breakfast for seven days, Paracetamol 500 mg one tablet every four hours as needed for fever.
