Brief Answer:
Candida overgrowth of gi tract/gallbladder problems rule out

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

1. Sweating and chills are signs of infection. To determine the type of infection, thorough ENT examination is advised.

If strep throat is suspected, then culture of throat swab is advised for determination.

2. Vomiting, diarrhea alternating with constipation are related to antibiotic use (cefadroxil) as it can alter intestinal flora.

However, infection of gut and gallbladder problems should be also ruled out through :
- abdominal ultrasound
- culture of feces for candida

For the moment, I advise :
- take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- increase fluids intake, if can't eat/drink anything, iv fluids are recommended for a few days
- dairy products like yogurt or unsalted curd are encouraged to eat more often

Wish you fast recovery!
Dr.Albana
