i was/have been really sick for like a month.. started as a sinus infection, then turned into a really sore throat, loss of voice, and chest pains when coughing. my whole body ached and i had really bad headaches. it started to go away, and then came back w/ a really high fever.
i went to instacare, the dr said it was probably bronchitis and the flu, and maybe pertussis. he gave me a pill with guafessin (sp) and pseudoephedrine in it, and a cough syrup w/ hydrocodone in it. after taking the medications, i began vomiting.. i couldn't even keep down liquids.
the next day (yesterday) i went to my normal doctor, and he said it was bronchitis, sinusitis, and pertussis. he gave me an antibiotic. i took the antibiotic last night, but i threw it up. actually, all day yesterday i threw up.. couldn't keep down water.
today, i kept down juice, ate toast, puked, kept down juice, felt dizzy and awful, had chicken soup and puked. now i'm puking up my crackers. any ideas what could be up?

Sorry you don't feel good. Have you tried a gravol suppository to stop the vomiting thought I'd suggest it since you can't keep anything down. Surprised no one else suggested it. As others said drink lots of whatever stays down longest.
Hope you feel better soon

Umm, I have to laugh a little, not at your question, but at the answers, some of them said you might be pregnant.. I noticed your picture/avatar is a MAN and the name under it was MIKE. I don't know any female Mikes.. lol. I had that though, go to the hospital or doctor. Yours may turn out to be something, where as when I had it, they couldn't find ANYTHING wrong. The most they found was a tiny bladder infection. I had to be put in the hospital and was there for almost a week. Even still then, I couldn't go back to work for another week and a half. Talk to a doctor ASAP!

If you can't keep anything down you run the risk of being dehydrated. I'd go to the emergency room. (Yes I know it's drastic). But if you can't keep anything down, you're not going to get any better.
At the hospital you will be reassessed (so a second opinion is not a bad thing). Also, you'll be able to recieve stuff by IV which will help you feel better quicker. I really think you should check yourself in...better to be safe than sorry.

I would advise you not to eat anything oily, like chicken soup. Also, the crackers should be saltine crackers. Eat more porridge instead of bread-you can add some egg or vegetables or pickles for flavoring. Drink slowly and in sips, but also drink often.

I'm sorry you feel so bad. Call your doc back and ask for the antibiotic Z-Pack (if that's not what he already prescribed). It works quickly and you should be feeling better within a day. Get some regular Coke, not Diet Coke, just regular Coke and take little sips. I hope you feel better soon.

There are meds that take away nausea. Talk to your doctor.
