What can I do after severe stomach ache + fever?!


Question: What can I do after severe stomach ache + fever?
I just had a severe stomach ache that lasted for 1 whole day. The pain wasn't constant but it hurt severely for around 1 minute, and then stops for 30 seconds and the cycle repeats.The pain was almost unbearable and I had to force myself to throw up a couple of times. I also had diarrhea many times. After my stomach stopped hurting, I started to have a fever and right now(morning after the stomach ache) my stomach feels bloated and every time i drink water(that's all I can have), my stomach hurts a little.

So can anyone give me some treating advise? Also, is it ok if I drink pop, because I've heard that pop lets you burp out the air in your stomach? If this happens again, will Advil stop the pain?

You can drink pop, preferably Ginger Ale. You could also take something like Gas-X.
If this happens again, you could take Pepto Bismol, it usually fixes tummy troubles and aspirin is good to reduce a fever.

Stay hydrated. Pop is good because it has water and sugar. The water will keep you hydrated, and the sugar will keep your body fueled.

Pop will not let you burp air out of your stomach. It will add gas (carbon dioxide) to your stomach that you will burp out, but if there is already air in your stomach, then you can burp it out without adding more by drinking pop.

Pop that contains caffeine will irritate your stomach. Advil will irritate your stomach. Avoid both of them.

Actually, anything that contains caffeine will irritate your stomach.
