Have Flu, 101.9 Fever, Heartburn, Took ZPack. Recommendations?

5 days ago I thought I was coming down with the flu. It started with 10l.9 fever and feeling really bad. No cough or congestion. What was strange I had heartburn which has steadily gotten worse. Went to the Dr. and was given a ZPack. I am still running a low grade temperature and the heartburn had continued making it very difficult for me to eat or drink.

Dear friend Thanks for using Health Care Magic,
You are likely to suffer from acid reflux disease that can be treatable with Tablet Pantoprozole 40mg half hour before food and add Syrup sucrafil O 5ml thrice daily to relieve from heart burn like symptoms. NSAIDS and Zpack will help you to get rid of infection that causing feverish symptoms.

I would recommend you to use Mild Hot Water to smoothen heartburn.

Drink plenty of oral fluids and follow medication for 3days and you will have a speedy recovery.

Hope I provided useful information.
Take Care.

Hi, these days the fevers usually are accompanied by the gastric irritation, so heart burn.In addition z.pack is very irritant to the gastric mucosa. now you have to use some thing which cools the gastric mucosa.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe omeprazol, domperidon , and antacid gel so long you use fever medication .
thank you.
