I have fever, diarrhea, nausea, impossible to sleep, what can I do?

Question

Hello, I have been in France for a month and I only drink tap water. For 5 days, I have been having drops in pressure and I can't eat. The doctor there diagnosed a gastro... on my side, I do not understand. I have fever, diarrhea, nausea, impossible to sleep... I take Citalopram 20 mg every day. in france, the doctor prescribed me metoclopramide mylan 10mg and tiorfanor 175mg. i never took the first one, under the advice of the pharmacist. She told me that it was for vomiting and that it should not be prescribed. (!!!). for the second one, I had to take it morning and evening. I took it 2 days in a row and stopped. The last night I was bent over 90 degrees, unable to sleep and with incredible and constant nausea. I could not vomit or have a bowel movement because of this medication. And around 4am, I finally threw up my life. Sorry for the details.. I thought about covid but the doctor in France wouldn't even test me. what worries me is that when I eat, I get a fever. It's like my body is fighting food.

Hello ma'am, have you tried or taken anything for your symptoms? Are you currently taking any other medications? Thanks for the information, I'm sorry for the delay, I didn't see the notification! If you are still nauseated, I suggest Gravol, available without perfume in different forms as oral liquid and suppositories. I also suggest hydrating yourself with 1 to 2 sips every 5 minutes. If you can eat, favor light foods such as soups, broths, toast with butter, eggs, crackers, etc. And avoid heavy or sweet foods such as red meat and undiluted fruit juices. If you are completely unable to eat, or if the situation persists for more than 7 days without improvement , I believe that you should consult a doctor. If you have not already done so, I also suggest a rapid test for COVID. If you do not have one, please do not go to the pharmacy, please call for a delivery or send a relative. I will be available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
