What Causes Jaw Pain,red Spots On Stomach And Tenderness On Scalp?

hello, I was recently hospitalized with e.coli poisoning in my blood. I was unaware i had until I ended up in the ER. I was in house for 4 days and was released on Levaquin 750mg of antibiotics for 14 days. My concern is that I am having symptoms that I think I was having prior to my er visit. I have insurance in AZ that doesn t cover an ER visit unless I m admitted and I m in CA and not sure if I should be evaluated in the er again. Symptoms include: jaw pain and inability to open mouth normally lil red spots like pen size on my stomach tender scalp on left-side constant headaches mucus vaginal discharge that itches, vary in color from clear to creamy, no odor my urine seems to bubbly in the toilet and is sometimes cloudy I m irritated over nothing my stomach has pains that aren t constant but similar to the pain that started before the fever heart races feeling that I m short of breath or I m gonna pass out or light headed my arms and legs sometimes ache like potassium is low Now these arent symptoms Im having constantly or at the same time however they are happening regularly enough that Im concerned but dont want to be over reacting either. I almost died a month ago because of how sever it was and I would rather be safe than sorry.

As your urine appears bubbly and cloudy I would like to rule out a condition called nephritis and based on your other symptoms a condition called hemolytic uremic syndrome. The possibility of drug- induced nephritis also has to be ruled out. Nephritis is an inflammation of the kidneys. The other condition is more complex. Hence please do the following tests such as urine routine, urine protein estimation. complete blood count, peripheral smear , blood urea , serum creatinine. Your blood pressure also has to be checked. You are not overreacting . Your headaches and red spots could be related to inflammation within the kidneys which has to be checked. High blood pressure as a result of nephritis may cause headaches. Nephritis may develop after certain infections and sometimes after certain medications . Please visit your physician and also get these tests done as there is treatment for the same. Best regards
