Day Five of Being Sick

[LINDSAY HEMNES]

Tuesday night I started feeling like I was getting a sinus infection (I get them on a regular basis) so I took some Tylenol. After about an hour it kicked in and I felt fine. Once the effects would start to wear off I'd take it again (about every five hours). I did that for three days but my symptoms were not improving. Thursday night I woke up around three feeling very nauseous and started retching. The same thing happened Friday night and it happened again a few hours ago. I started taking robitussin cold and flu last night which has helped me sleep but my symptoms still haven't improved. Any suggestions what I might have or what I could do to get better?

For sinus symptoms you could use a neti pot with warm salt water (1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp sobium bicarbonate in a cup of warm water) along with a nasal decongestant (eg Sudafed 12 Hour)

Tylenol or Advil for aches and pains etc.

Extra Vitamin C, Zinc, Multivitamins

It might be an idea to see your doctor if you arnt on the mend in a day or two, just to be safe.

I went to the doctor today and he told me I probably just had a stomach flu but that I should be fine now.
Once I got home I tried to eat something and almost automatically started retching again. My fever is also going up again and I'm having severe abdominal pain. The only thing I've been able to consume without feeling worse is water.
