    Question Stomach Virus & Severe Acid Reflux!

    Hey everyone! Happy belated Thanksgiving! I've been suffering from my 1st stomach virus which has included the worst acid reflux ever! I was throwing up for 2 days but it has calmed down a lil bit. Now I seem to have a low grade fever that I've been treating with Tylenol. Even though I'm only drinking water to take the tylenol I'm spitting up acid so badly that it has chapped my lips. I did buy some more prevacid tonight which I think maybe working. Any advice on anything else I should try? Also, what has everyone been taking for fever? Thanks so much! xoxoxox

    Hey Sweetheart... I am so sorry you are sick! Poor thing!
    Okay, Mommy advice: the prevacid is great! 30mg at LEAST! Keep taking it.
    Also, do you still have the anti nausea medicine the surgeon gave you for after surgery?
    If not, call his number and have him or your PCP call it in. Last thing anyone wants is your tummy to get hurt from all this irritation.
    Electrolytes -- do you have some Gatorade around? If not, have a neighbor shoot out and get you something with electrolytes.
    Still have a fever? Is this the flu or an infection? Once your tummy chills out, the Tylenol should go down with little effect. Sounds like your tummy is really irritated from the throwing up. If this is still going on on Monday (even a little bit)-- stay home and get yourself to your PCP.
    I'll be thinking about you and sending a prayer your way.
    HUGS!!!!!!!!!! And a kiss on the top of the head to make you feel better.

    Just went to the doc last week for follow-up and he reminded me that if I ever get a stomach virus or bug I HAD to take the anti-nausea medicine he prescribed when I was released from surgery - so take it if you still have yours. Otherwise I agree with Gayle that you need to get the med if you don't have it already - I tried to find my bottle to tell you the name of it but dang, it seems to be somewhere other than where it is supposed to be.

    Try pedia lite popsicles the coolness will feel soothing and they will provide electrolyes you are losing, you can get dehydrated very fast I ended up in the E.R. 2 weeks after surgery with dehydration watch this close and I hope you feel better soon.
