15 year old nausea for almost 2 months now, please help!
Posted , 8 users are following.
So I'm a 15 year old female, and ever since the 9th of march I've been feeling quite ill. I went to the doctors and they said it was viral. A week later I went back and they prescribed me a antibiotics for sinus infection. A few days later I was throwing up. Which I thought I could have had a bug or it was side affects of the antibiotics. Which I think were amoxicillin. I waited a few days and went back to the doctor as I still felt very ill and they said it may be the antibiotics, so I had to finish the course with the fear or being sick again. I have a phobia of sick which didn't help at all. I carried on with the antibiotics and the nausea never went away however I was never sick again. Which made me believe it was a bug in my stomach. Two weeks after the the nausea is constantly there so the doctor prescribed me Gaviscon as I had really bad burps.
I am currently still taking this now. I have been missing days of school as I can't cope with the feeling of nausea. I haven't been sleeping properly, I have to sleep sitting up or on about 3 pillows, which isn't comfortable. I leave the light on as I feel less anxious.
I went back to the doctors and he said it was stress related as exams are coming up, prescribed me omeprazole (which takes 2 weeks to start working) have not seen any change so far and he told me to come back after my exams which is June!! Me and my mum are taking affect of this as she is stressed because we can't find an answer. I went back to the doctors today and I have finally been given a urine test and stool test to see if I have any infection or inflammation in my gut. However I can't go back till the 18th of may an I have exams before then. The nausea is constantly getting worse and I am going/ feeling like I ha e to open my bowels more than normal. It's horrible anyone suggest anything?

When l started with the nausea, usual meds, tests,no chabnge, but l told them l wanted to see a consultant, thought not going there again putting up with it. The nausea is horrible, restricting, so relieved it has settled, but has before, still its ok now so glad. l know how yuo feel, l guess most of us do when weve to wait, weeks, months, and your life is badly affected,, its how can they leave me in this state, l want help now, but its how it works unless you can afford private. Hope you get help soon, lay it on about how it could affect your exams. Best wishes.

Although sometimes they are right but, like you said what if it's rare and nobody even can find a cause. It really is not nice. I hate that so many people have to put up with it. And I'm sorry for that at least things are looking okay. Hopefully I get some results that can lead me in the right direction.
Take care x

Are you feeling any better these days... I hope you are 😊 . I told you that I have been going through my nausea for 9 months now of course not as bad as 6 months when I was bedridden and visits to the ET weekly very sick and dehydrated . I have taken Sony things to get rid of this nausea. I am still waiting to see a specialist so I had to experiment on my own.
I have seen some posts about aloe vera juice. I did take this and it is a great help. I kept getting upsets and was told by my dieitian and read it that you should only consume this while you took antibiotics or for a few weeks after. I took it for 4 months it can also irritate your stomach lining and add to your already troubles . So just be careful how long you take it for 😝.
But it might not react this way to you trial and error is what you will need to do for you and remedies you like💜.

I haven't actually consumed any aloe Vera juice, as I wasn't quite sure. Sometimes you have to see what is best for you when your waiting on others for results. Things are still the same, anything can set it of. Like yesterday was horrible constant nausea all day since Saturday at 3:am until I went bed. Feeling better today. I hope all is well with you and you are not feeling so sick💙
