<s>[INST] I am a very healthy, athletic 26 year old female. I had a fever starting 2 days ago that has gone down after taking aspirin over the last 24 hours, but instead of feeling better, I feel worse. Shortly after I woke up today I started feeling pressure in my stomach, as if I was hungry, but eating didnt help. The pressure has gotten worse and risen up to my chest. I feel as though I have to belch, but forcing myself to makes me feel better for about 1 second, and then the pressure comes back even stronger. Additionally, I am salivating so much that I need to keep a pail next to my bed to let the drool fall into. Swallowing also makes the pressure in my chest feel worse. Laying down aggravates it too. Any ideas what is going on? I vaguely remember having similar experiences a couple times as a teenager, but dont think they were this uncomfortable. [/INST] Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Read the history carefully. IT looks the aspirin has caused all this problem added on by the fever you had. This may be severe gastritis, causing all the symptoms you have. Excessive salivation is present as a reflex mechanism, body trying to dilute the effect of gastritis. I would advise you the following: (You need a prescription)Antacid gel with anesthetic 5 SF every three hours. PPI and / or RanitidineDomperidonecold milk / water orally only if tolerated. Consult a Doctor /Gastroenterologist- you may need to undergo upper GI Endoscopy, and to have investigations and treatment for fever too. Do not self treat. Consult a Doctor for proper diagnosis of fever, present problem and proper treatment. </s>
