What Causes Fever And Vomiting When Diagnosed With Ulcerative Colitis?

Hello I am a 29 year old female with a history of severe ulcerative colitis(I ve been hospitalized over 15 times with 4 lengthy stays-longest was 42 days) yesterday I woke up with a high fever(normal temp is 97.6) of 103. No matter what I took(Tylenol etc) it wouldn t go away just slightly drop down to 101.6. I vomited had awful stomach pain very bad migraine/chest pains radiating all the way down to my fingers& it was a bit hard to breath. Today I m feeling a little better(fever is 100.4) but my feces smell like chemicals- & it s very painful. It also hurts even when I drink water. I was actually in so much pain earlier I took 30mg of OxyContin.(it helped a little) I m very nervous
