What Causes Sore Throat And Upper Left Abdominal Pain?
I am a 56yr old white women. I had a sore throat 2 days ago, also servere pain in upper left abdominal area. Yesterday, I vomitied blood with like blood clots, only about 1 teaspsoon in size. I thought it was from the sore throat, most likely being so sore that it was raw...my doctor had put me on a zpack since I have had some medical training... but then I was tired this whole time, and feverish...I started to vomit more...so I just stayed on the couch which is my bed,,,and today am afraid to take 3 day of zpack for fear of vomiting again? Should I? am at a friends house right now and drinking coffee and have takin all my high BP meds and seem to still have small sore throat...?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Antibiotics including the z pack can be associated with gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea in some persons.
The chance of these symptoms occurring is reduced by the use of probiotics. These can be used on their own or found in some yogurts.
You should complete the antibiotic course using the probiotics along with it to help alleviate your symptoms.
I hope this helps
