Abdominal Pain, Fever, Vomiting Blood, Inability To Eat. Cause?
Hey there.
I'm a 21 yo white female that has an upper and lower endoscopy yesterday because of symptoms like:
Extreme Abdominal Pain
Inability to keep anything down
High Fever
Frequent vomiting
Vomiting Blood
The scope came back more or less perfectly normal. Though, he did send a sample off to be
However, I woke up this morning feeling worse. I've tried to throw up at least a dozen over the course of the day and the only thing that comes up is foam with little steaks of bright red blood. What could possible cause this? I've even tried intentionally purging and nothing happened. I'm worried because I have eaten enough food recently that I should be able to throw up back up. Also, what could cause the foam and blood?
Thanks

Hi
thanks for your question.
Do not worry
based on my experience , after endoscopy most of my patients have similar feelings. Just take over the counter nausea medication and you will be okey.
endoscope tube causes minor trauma to lining of the gastro intestinal tract and that is why you have foam and blood.
these nausea should stop in 2 to 3 days ,if it continues then see surgeon for review . Hope I answered your question.

it can be stomach infections or sometime complicated typhoid which cause this
the endoscopy itself can cause swelling of git tract which can give foam and blood
you need more blood work to diagnose the disease and treat it
use antibiotics
antacid gel antipyretics
use antiemetic for vomiting
this cn contrl it but need to find cause
use lt of warm water
non oily non spicy and non fatty food for some days
