[33F] Experiencing severe abdominal pain, fever, and respiratory symptoms

What might be happening

Based on the information provided, possible diagnoses include:

• Pneumonia: This is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. The presence of yellowish-green mucus in your throat, fever, and shortness of breath could suggest this condition.

  • Treatment typically involves antibiotics, fever reducers, and cough medicine.

• Gastroenteritis: This is an inflammation of the digestive tract, typically resulting from a viral, bacterial, or parasitic infection. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. While you didn't mention diarrhea or vomiting, your severe abdominal pain and fever could suggest this condition.

  • Treatment typically involves rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies.

• Gallstones: These are hardened deposits in the gallbladder that can cause sharp, cramping pain in the upper middle or upper right abdomen. Your description of your abdominal pain could suggest this condition.

  • Treatment may involve surgery to remove the gallbladder or medications to dissolve the gallstones.

• Peptic Ulcer: This is a sore on the lining of your stomach, upper small intestine or esophagus. A peptic ulcer can cause sharp abdominal pain, and it can sometimes cause chest pain.

  • Treatment typically involves medications to reduce stomach acid and protect the lining of your stomach and small intestine.

• Migraine: This is a type of headache characterized by throbbing pain, usually confined to one side of the head, that tends to get worse with movement and can last hours to days. Your description of your headache could suggest this condition.

  • Treatment typically involves medications to relieve migraine pain.

Please note that these are potential explanations for your symptoms, but they may not fully account for all of your symptoms.
