Firstly I know the obvious advice is to see a doctor but I tried on two separate days last week and couldn't get an appointment. The first time a nurse rang me and couldn't help me. The second time a doctor prescribed me something that turned out to be a topical, off the shelf solution. And all this was over the phone, still haven't seen anyone no matter how hard I try.
So in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone with experience or medical knowledge has any suggestions.
I had a really bad mouth ulcer last week. It lasted for about 2 weeks in total and was incredibly painful. I couldn't eat and it gave me very bad headache, earache and other issues. It was grim. It's starting to clear up now, the pain is subsiding and it's gradually shrinking but I'm now getting really severe gastro issues and I'm not sure if the two are linked.
So for the past 3 days whenever I eat anything it just seems to come right back out. I have the most hideous cramping, nausea and pain and am then stuck on the toilet for ages until there's nothing left but water. I've never had anything like this before. Could it be due to the infection? Is it possible to mess up your gut with paracetamol as I was taking a lot last week for the pain? When I look online the symptoms keep coming back with scary things like chrohns but I've no other reason to suspect this and had a colonoscopy a few years back that came back clear.
I'm just so sick of feeling unwell and just when I thought the mouth was getting better and I could finally enjoy a meal again, I start with the worst shits of my life! Is this coincidence? Could it be linked? Again I know I need to see a doctor but that's easier said than done right now!
