Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Vomiting And Mild Fever After Severe Rib Injury?
My Mom (who is 75 yo) has four fractured ribs from a ranching accident that happened 5/4. She started running a mild temp 99.2 to 99.6 range before they sent her home from the hospital yesterday (5/5) late afternoon. She has thrown up everything she has tried to eat, is still running a mild temp, and hasn t had a bowel movement since 5/3. I m concerned about her vomiting and mild fever. The only pain med she is on is one 500 mg Tylenol every 4 hours as needed.
She has gastritis. Keep her well hydrated with ORS or Oral rehydration Solution. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Avoid junk food and colas. She can take Tablet Domperidone 10mg twice a day for relief from vomiting. She can take Antibiotic like Tablet Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day for 5 days.
