What Are The Symptoms Of Potential Pregnancy?
I was recently seen in the ER for lower abdominal pain, and was diagnosed with an acute urinary tract infection. My abdominal pain wasn't diagnosed, but I was given an antibiotic for the UTI. I took it twice a day for 7 days, and then about 3 days after I stopped taking it I began to vomit uncontrollably all day every day, and I'm still doing it. I was given blood tests at the hospital and would assume they would inform me if I was pregnant.Do u have any idea what else it could be?

Hallow Dear,
The first cardinal symptom of the pregnancy is missing a period, which you have not. So the chances of pregnancy are out of consideration.
The nausea and vomiting you had is due to the antibiotics you were taking for urinary infection. You should not have discontinued antibiotics as the urinary infections are very nasty infections. By discontinuing he antibiotics, you have invited the resistant stains of the bacteria causing urinary infection. You should have continued it with some antacid like Pantoprazole and anti-vomiting medicine like stemetil.
Now take Pantoprazole to control the acidity and stemetil to control vomiting, but complete the course of antibiotics. Please report to your doctor and follow the medical advice religiously.
