Posted on Wed, 16 Apr 2014
Question: My husband woke in the middle of the night with extreme chills coulod not get warm but had a temperature of 100.2 He said he he had great pain in his upper right abdomen. He felt he was having a goal bladder attack: We did not go to the hospital at that time since his temperature started to go down. He stayed home two days only eating raisin brand and drinking XXXXXXX juice. His symptoms have diminished but I want to known is it too late to go to the ER. Or should he schedule an endoscopy at this time?

Brief Answer: Schedule appointment with GI specialist first..... Detailed Answer: Hi, I have gone through the medical history of your husband and feel sorry for the situation he is in. As the symptoms have been diminishing, I'm afraid that the situation is not as acute to send him to the ER. It is better to schedule an appointment with GI specialist. If until then, he will have another attack, then, should send him immediately to the ER. Further examinations are necessary to find out why he had the pain attack: - abdominal ultrasound - upper endoscopy - urine analysis - blood work: full blood count, liver/kidney/pancreas function tests. Depending on the tests results, further evaluations should be prescribed. For the time being, : - ask him to get more rest - drink plenty of water - take pain-killers (acetaminophen preferably) Hope it was of help! Let me know if you have further queries! Dr.Klerida
