Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on your symptoms, there are several possibilities:
-
Influenza (Flu): This is a common viral infection that can cause fever, chills, cough, and body aches. Given your symptoms of fever, chills, and a deep, wet cough, this could be a possibility. However, diarrhea is not a typical symptom of the flu.
-
Gastroenteritis: This is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines, typically resulting from a bacterial or viral infection. It can cause diarrhea, stomach ache, and sometimes fever. However, it doesn't usually cause a cough.
-
Sinusitis: This is an inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses. It can cause a deep, wet cough, especially if the sinuses are draining into the throat, causing post-nasal drip. However, it doesn't usually cause diarrhea or constipation.
-
Side effects of medication: Fluticasone propionate and Albuterol, the medications you're taking, can sometimes cause side effects like diarrhea and constipation.
What you can do
-
Stay hydrated: Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, so it's important to drink plenty of fluids. Try to drink water, broth, or rehydration drinks.
-
Rest: Your body needs energy to fight off the virus. Getting enough sleep can help your body recover.
-
Over-the-counter medication: Over-the-counter medication can help with symptoms like fever and cough. However, you should consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
What you should look out for
If your symptoms persist or get worse, you should seek medical attention. Here are some signs that you should seek immediate medical attention:
- Severe abdominal pain
- Blood in your stool
- High fever (over 102°F)
- Severe headache
- Difficulty breathing
Remember, this advice is intended to be general in nature, and specific causes may not apply to your situation. Always consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate examination, testing, and care.
