Hi, I’m positing on behalf of my partner as I feel quite worried for him. I’m not sure if it’s just my health anxiety speaking or if we should be worried and see a dr asap
it started yesterday shortly after eating he felt quite unwell hours later he had a temp and was vomitting with lots of burping and hiccups along with stomach pain. He self diagnosed himself with food poisoning which he thought he got off a sausage. When he vomitted it was lots and actually quite scared me the way it all came up anyways, he hasn’t been sick since however he still feels quite generally unwell and is taking temperatures on and off. He says his stomach is really sore and he has hiccups that won’t go away. He’s currently in and out of sleep , he’s beside me hiccuping (and it’s sending me up the walls)
A&E sounds drastic , out of hours would be the best protocol maybe but I will see how he is shortly as currently sleeping which hiccuping like crazy.
is this more than likely just a bacterial infection?
he’s been taking paracetamol & omeprazole
