Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve had a sick bug all week. I have ongoing stomach problems but this hasn t seemed to stop. It started on Sunday evening, and there s a lot of bugs going round. Last night I was up from 10pm till 2am vomiting and vomiting until nothing was left, and then it was just acid. I have horrendous heart burn and chest pain, and I just vomited again after eating and it was pink. I ve been vomiting all day but just acid as I went to A&E but they said come back if any more probs. Should I be concerned as I just vomited pink???
Had you taken any outside food in last 4 to 5 days??If yes then your vomiting and stomach pain might be because of food poisoning by bacteria or virus.
So here first possibility is bacterial or viral gastroenteritis.It is better to take antibiotic for few days.If needed iv infusion of normal saline with antibiotic can be given.
Meanwhile take following precaution -avoid smoke -small meal at frequent interval taken -green leafy veg useful -avoid spicy and fatty food -avoid alcohol -more water
Here these symptoms can be because of ulcer in stomach.for that omeprazole taken.
If still symptoms increasing I would like you to suggest for further investigation with endoscopy or ultrasound.
I hope your concerned will be solved by my suggestion.
Regards; Dr.Parth goswami
