Re: how to tell if stomach flu or cholangitis

[Guest guest]

I know that in may areas, there is a bug going around with the same symptoms you described aside from the pain but add the diarrhea. It starts out with vomiting for 24 or 48 hours and then diarrhea and lasts about 5 days or so. I know about 15 people who had it last week and it is highly contagious.

how to tell if stomach flu or cholangitis

My husband has chills, vomiting, fever, tired that started as nausea and tired at noon and moved to vomiting this afternoon. He stated that he has had on and off pain in his right side. Any suggestions?

=================================

Get him to the Dr. or hospital E.R. soon!!! Trust me on this!! I'm

writing this message from my hospital bed with a round of cholangitis.

I kept hoping it was stomach flu this time (and back in April, and

the time before that, and the ...... well, you get the idea).

When tums and gas-x didn't ease my severe ab pain, I figured it was

probably the cholangitis, but when the pain began radiating to the

back I was sure. In April I was in hospital for 11 days. I'm hoping

it will be a shorter stay this time.

My dr. has told me to ALWAYS treat it as cholangitis until proved

otherwise. If it is cholangitis, you can be taking a big risk of

further infection if you don't get it treated ASAP.

Tomorrow morning they're putting a central line in me since they

couldn't get a PICC line going this time and my IV's are lasting only

minutes nowadays.

Personally, I would call the dr. NOW so you can at least get a Rx for

antibiotics.
