Fever and diarrhea...What's wrong?

Question

Early last morning, I felt sick with a fever and had diarrhea. The highest my fever went was 101.1. But, the diarrhea was a lot and watery (SORRY.). I feel relieved from the fever a bit. The diarrhea is a bit less than it was yesterday, but I've probably gone more than 30 times between yesterday and this morning. And, yesterday, I did not feel hungry AT ALL. What should I do? And what's wrong with me?

I've been taking Pepto Bismol for my stomach, and Tylenol for my fever. I've been drinking hot tea. What should I eat/drink? What should I not?

This is what I ate the day before my fever/diarrhea came: Crackers and a banana for breakfast/ Half of one Ham and cheese sandwich for mini lunch/Sour patch candy for a snack/Chicken w/ mushrooms and some potatoes from Olive Garden for dinner w/ a Fresh Brewed Iced Tea/Peach Snapple and two pieces of watermelon

When should this end???

(I just checked my weight, and I lost 5 lb.!)

Answer 1

go to doctor, this might be more serious.

Answer 2

it could be from the food you ate.

the last time i had shrimp pasta from olive garden, my stomach got really upset, i didnt have a fever, but i also had bad diarreah.

so you could have a mild case of food poisoning, or you could be fighting a virus. when you get a fever, it means your immune system and white blood cells are reaching their limit trying to fight off whatever is making you ill.

you can call a doctor, tell him what is wrong, and if he wants to see you, go, because he could have antibiotics for you, or he could just say to eat some little stuff.

and when i say little stuff, i mean like chicken noodle soup, but mostly the broth, some crackers, water, hot tea, and take the pepto bismol and tylenol like you are doing, also, take a cold bath. that will bring down your fever.

about the diarreah, you could also take mylanta. awful tasting stuff, but if your stomach feels sour, then that will help. its a liquid, but it tastes super chalky.

i hope you feel better!!!

Answer 3

u should seek medical attention.. i mean 30 consecutive watery stools(?)that might cause u an electrolyte imbalance..eat foods that are low in residue (buttered rice, soft meats..etc) those foods that wouldnt irritate ur bowel..and have lots of fluid (broth,juices) and friut intake...go see ur doctor
