What Causes Back Pain, Nausea And Dizziness?

I took my 16 year old daughter to the Er yesterday. She has been feeling nauseated for the last couple of days. She woke yesterday to some back pain by the time she drove to school it was excruciating. She turned around to come home and threw up on the way. She came into the house screaming for me to take her to the hospital. She has NEVER been in this kind of pain before. She has chronic pain due to Henoch–Schönlein purpura. She was diagnosed with it three years ago and has had ongoing issues with arthralgia, vasculitis, and protein in her urine. I took her to the ER and the Dr on duty did not even physically examine her. Her pain was on her back on left side and a little on the right. She was yelling out in pain and vomited 4 times total. She was given a shot of Demerol and the Dr told us that she had a muscle spasm on the way to school due to the cold weather. He ran a urine test right before we left and it came back that she had a UTI. The dr gave her a three day dose of Bactrim and said that the UTI didn t cause her pain. She isn t hurting as bad today but is still dizzy and nauseated. I have been trying to get her rheumatologist to call me but have not gotten a call back. I m really afraid a three day supply of Bactrim won t be enough or that this is more than just a UTI (she has no pain or burning when urinating and doesn t have to urinate often). Should I be concerned? Should I take her some place else?

Please give her lots of water ( may be with little lemon juice) to flush out any turbidity in urinary tract.

As a harmless relief for nausea, give her cardamomum seeds to chew and suck off and on. If 2 cloves are boiled in 100 ml water for sometime, let cool and this water drunk, it also controls vomiting. Mint leaves juice ( by grinding and extracting) few drops to 1/2 tsp also controls vomiting. You have all options open.

For pain I would not suggest any antiinflammatory as far as possible since it may cause gastritis and induce vomiting. Try some external massage for muscular pains until its unbearable and internal pain killer has to be taken.

Now finally, give her little turmeric powder say 1/4 to 1/2 tsp in warm water or milk( even if she throws it, give again). There are capsules named HARIDRA (which contains turmeric) by Himalaya co., may be arranged instead. It will serve multiple purpose. It's natural anti bacterial, pain killer and anti allergic. It works in purpura too.

All these things will only benefit additionally, will not interact with other medicines.

When you are clear about tests etc, we may advise further too. Till then carry on with these herbals.

Hope it helps.
