Discomfort In Stomach, Urge To Pass Stools But No Motions, Low Appetite, Chills, Throbbing Headache, Weakness After Eating Spicy Food. Treatment Suggestion?
Hey recently, i ate some very spicy papaya salad. traditional asian food. and i feel much discomfort in my stomach . The bad thing is that i cant use the rest room and when i do anything barely comes out. its been maybe 5 days and it has brought many other symptoms like me feeling ill, me not wanting to eat, getting chills, i wake up in the middle of the night very weak, and my head is THROBBING. When i lay down on a pillow, my head just pounds and it very uncomfortable. Any suggestions, diagnosis, or what is the problem?

Hello
You seem to be suffering from bacterial infection of intestines due to eating outside.
Had it been a viral infection,you would have been alright.
Your persistence of symptoms along with headaches ,chills and weakness for past five days clearly suggests that you need an antibiotic course.
You must consult your doctor for th prescription of the medicine.
Thanks
