Abdominal rash / respiratory symptoms?

Since you have been out of the country you should call your primary physician and tell them your symptoms and get their adivice.  \nIt could be some kind of rash from fever.

I had a bout of pleurisy that gave me similar symptoms. The symptoms can include:\nFever \nCough \nChills \nShortness of breath \nWeight loss \nPoor appetite \nSharp chest pain with breathing. Pain can limit the movement on the side of the chest with pleurisy. The pain can also be in the back around where the lungs are. \nRapid shallow breaths \nInability to take a deep breath \nItching in sites on the back (near the site of the lungs, but no visible rashes) \n\nSince the symptoms are similar to a heart attack, I urge you to see a doctor for evaluation. An EKG can rule out the heart attack pretty quickly.

i wish that i could tell you exactly what it is but nausea can be associated with a number of things. I suggest that tomorrow you call his primary and get a appointment for him.  They may want to run test on him to get a proper dx.\n\nGood luck to you and your family

Yes- it definately sounds like an allergy.  Allergies don't necessarily show themselves as rashes.  I would definately not eat them again especially since it compromises your breathing.

Hi, I'll bet the ER is right.  This sounds exactly like something that happened to my uncle.  They thought maybe the laundry detergent was culprit, only he hadn't changed detergents.  Come to find out he had a new pair of sheets and pillowcase.  So...have you tried new sheets lately? It could be that they are not 100% cotton and that could do it.  In his case the "sizing" they add to new sheets--even the cotton ones--was causing his rash and discomfort.  In this case, wash new sheets and pillowcases a few times before using them and that should help, and stick to the 100% cotton kind.  Also, if you suspect the laundry detergent, go back to another one that didn't bother you or even try Cheer.  It's the only one our family with allergies can use.  Good luck to you.  Oh, and the sluggish feeling you're having--that could be caused by the antihistamines the ER gave you.  Also allergies can make you feel that way too.  I hope this helps! :)

I am a Paramedic and see this all of the time.  As long as there is no Uticaria (Rash) or difficulties breathing which normally show up within several minutes to several hours after being stung. There should not be any alarm.  As others have suggested Ice is and an OTC (over the counter) Benydryl should help.  Be very watchful to make sure the swelling does not spread.  It is never a bad idea to contact your child's Doctor with any questions you may have.  He/She knows your child best medically and is more qualified to make definitive medical decisions.  I hope this helps.

Question: As a child did you ever run a really high temp? My brother ran a sudden high fever(cause never found, of 105 and soaring)that nearly killed him. He was wrapped in towels and buried in a tub of ice to bring the fever down. But while waiting on the ice to be brought he was bathed from head to toe in rubbing alchol. At that time the doctor did the only things he knew to do. The fever came down but my brothers normal temp of 98.6 was changed to 96.0. So a temp of 99.0 is not low grade fever anymore; at least not for him.  Are you under great amounts of stress? Stress can do wild things to your body. Under tremendos stress  the muscles literally separated from the bones in my chest area. Doctor's at first thought it was a heart attack but my pulse did not indicate such to be the case. I felt as if a huge weight had been droped on my chest, but it was stress. Vicatin would not even allow my body any relief, and the doctors had said if it didn't help that morphine was the next step.Fianlly, after several months of just letting nature run its course; I finally stopped hollering with every breath. I would shake like I was in a ice house on min. and feel normal the next; but my temp. was up and down like a yoyo. Do you have any other symptoms, coughing, sneezing,dizzy spells, black outs, nausea? Have you been to a doctor yet? If not; I strongly reccommend you go see one immediately. Keep in mind not all diseases or illness's cause the same reaction in a person. You can take 50 people with the flu. Some it turns into more upper respitory infections, and some of those can be fatal. Others just feel crappy and tired. While some can't see much difference in the flu and what most people would call a bad cold. My temp. runs 98.6; 99.0 is low grade, and any thing more than 102.6 I start calling the doctor. As I said I strongly reccomend you go straight to a doctor and have them check you out. I wish you well.

You didn't say how long ago you had the flu.  CAREFUL!  My son had the "flu" 2 years ago, and he never recovered fully.  He had symptoms of chronic fatigue and had vision black-outs.\n\nWe took him to Mayo Clinic a month ago, because no Dr in our area could tell us what was wrong.\n\nWe found out that he has Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, (POTS for short)\n\nIT STARTS WITH THE FLU!!!!!  \n\nthis is a new, strange, syndrome that they are just starting to research.\n\ndo you have headaches?  stomach pain?  read the website below for more information\n\ngood luck!

Somewhat long, but worth the read:\nBecause your red blood cells "have an affinity to carbon monoxide", and pick it up first rather than oxygen.  The dizziness is from lack of oxygen to the brain.  The throwing-up is typical of (I'm assuming) someone who is recently into smoking.  The throwing-up probably also is the lack of oxygen that interfered with the normal stomach activity, whether or not you recently ate.  I had what you describe.  I HAD IT DECADES AGO, AND NOW I HAVE A LUNG CONDITION THAT REQUIRES OXYGEN FROM A TANK!  I know someone who is 93 who smoked from age 13.  She has a terrible cough, but does get enough oxygen without help.  She's the exception (terribly wrinkled too - I know other 90+ people who look darned good.)  I know you probably are young, like under 25 or 30, you know there are lung diseases, and you think YOU won't get them, or if you do, that will be so far in the future as to be of no concern.  SURPRISE!  That older age does come to pass, and you will probably want to kick your younger-self's behind for doing this to you.  So stop now, in fact, write a note to your to-be-older self,  put it away somewhere secure, and forget about it.  I hope your future self will be pleased with the contents.

Have you tried cortaid?  It also could be your laundry detergent... Its hard to tell  - it could also be fungal  which would require a prescription.....  If the rash not internal - try the highest caliber of cortaid you can find and change your laundry detergent to Dreft - to rule out an allergic reaction...... if that doesn't work - you'll know what to do.

It could be an allergic reaction to something. Have you changed laundry detergent or anything like that? It could also be from some kind of insect bite or bites. It it gets worse then you can go to your urgent care and they can give you an shot to get rid of the itching. If you experience shortness of breath or feel like your throat is consticted go to the ER asap.

Pneumonia symptoms include cough productive of sputum (usually green or yellow), high fever (above 101 F), some shortness of breath. Night sweats are also often present, though not always. Also if you are smoking, that could be making thigns far worse. Xray is very helpful with diagnosis.  Hope that helps a bit, though I will still say you should see a doctor if you are concerned

Hey, accidents happen and kids will be kids.  My two-year old gets into everything as well.\n\nJust keep an eye on her for the next three days.  If she starts showing symptoms, then go to the doctor/ER.\n\nDon't worry, she will probably be OK.\n\nFrom Yahoo! Health:\n"Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. They develop 12 to 72 hours after infection, and the illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. However, diarrhea and dehydration may be so severe that it is necessary to go to the hospital. Older adults, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are at highest risk."

Hi Vicki,  I found out a year ago that I was a celiac, now I am feeling so much better, finally found out whats wrong with me. I have had to change a lot of things in my life but its worth it, I didn't have any rashes, mainly a permanent stomach ache and aching joints, lethargy and moodiness.  I have found replacement recipes for all my favourite glutenous recipes. I am also a vegetarian so it makes it difficult to eat out, except at various India, or Thai restaurants.  So now I cook so much more than before, wheat is just about in everything and I have been caught a few times eating the stuff and suffering afterwards. If you would like exchange recipes feel free to email me. And I hope you feel better soon :0)
