Could Stomach Pain With Fever Be Indicative Of Stomach Flu Or UTI?

My 17 yr old daughter complained of severe stomach pain. I took her to the Er on Friday morning. Anything acute such as gallbladder, pancreas, appendix problems was ruled out. She did have an UTI and was given antibiotics and fluids along with morphine for pain and sent home. That might she had hard chills, back pain and her head and stomach hurts. She has fever up to 102 for the past 24 hours. I am try to give the antibiotics a chance to help but it doesn t appear to be working. I m leaning toward stomach flu.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best to give her the antibiotics are prescribed if she was diagnosed with an UTI.
Antibiotics are required for effective treatment against urinary tract infections.

If the antibiotics are not working for this infection then she may need another type of antibiotic (it is possible that the bacteria may be resistant to the antibiotics given).

Urinary tract infections can cause chills, abdominal pain, back pain , fever.

Stomach flu would normally be associated with a history of vomiting and diarrhea.

I hope this helps
