Hello,
Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.
Could you please provide some additional information so that I can provide my best learned opinion.
1. Where exactly are you having the pain ? Abdomen ? (If in abdomen, can say the particular location ? as in near the umbilicus, upper abdomen etc)
2. For how long you are having this pain and nausea ?
3. Is there any other related symptoms ? (loos stools, headache , pain while urination..)
4.Did you some food in past 1 day, which was possibly undercooked or contaminated ?
You can reply as a followup.
Thank you
Upper abdomen, haven't really been able to eat for two days, fatigue,, pain has been for about 24 hours
Hello,
It seems you have a Gastroenteritis with or without some ulcer peptic disease. This happens due to 'stomach bug' probably viral. And then since you are not eating there is excess stomach acid causing pain and all of them resulting in nausea.
There is no reason to worry though. You should take some bland diet (no spices, no milk). Do not skip any meals. With this you can also take an OTC anti ulcer medication like Prilosec once daily early morning 1 hour before food for 7 days.If there is any worsening symptom or unusual symptoms please get medical help
Hope this helps
Please feel free to ask followup questions.
Thank you
