Seeking help! Sick at 4 weeks out..

[Lessofme529 11]

I have been so sick the last three days. It's seems like a classic case of the flu but I have never had it this bad! My stomach is upset at anything I try to eat, fever of 100+, cough like my insides are coming out, along with a runny nose and extremely sore throat. I talked to my surgeon and she said to give it one more day and if I'm not better, I should see my PCP. I have been feeling great up till now but this case of the flu? Is just killing me!

Anyone experience anything like this post-op? I am taking EmergenC and Multivitamins and Soups and tea and lemon as well as trying to stay hydrated and DayQuil or NyQuil as I can handle it. Sometimes it's too much on my stomach, so my doc gave me the ok to use the hydrocodine to suppress my symptoms and allow me some rest, which has worked the best for me so far.

Any similar experiences and the results would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

See your PCP - I would want to know that it's just a bad flu and not a leak

Sounds like the flu. . Try some Theraflu & a hot shower sweetheart. I bet you will feel a million times better. (((((Big hugs)))))

Edit: Now that I think about it- it could be strep. I had strep a couple weeks before surgery and I felt like death. Go to the doc soon-

Thank you all so much for your kind words! I am so blessed and pleased to say, I feel so much better today! I have still a lot of congestion but it seems I made it to the stage where it's being released so that's a good sign. My fever is down and I was able to have a nice and long night of sleep last night. Thanks again and thank you for checking up on me !!!
