Question:

I thew up acid, isnt because ive only been drinking water and eating no food?

i havent ate anything since friday or so because today i just found out i have strep throat and as you should know its very painful to swallow, ive been drinkin water on occassion but i called the nurse because i was spitting up red brownish stuff that tasted horrible, she told me to drink lots of water so i had a cup 30 min later i was throwing up lots of acid mixed with the water i drank, and it had a disgustin smell, seemed as thought it was coming from my nose too, and i could breathe while this was happening, it was very painful and scary. is it because ive only been drinkin water >? and no food for the acid to absorb! thanks!


Answers:

Yep that's what the problem is... if you are on antibiotics for the strep and you add that to no food it will make you want to throw up. Something that I used with strep was jello... you make it just like normal but only add 1/2 the cold water and then drink it warm... it actually tastes pretty good and its soothing... it will also coat your stomach and esophagus and give you a little relief. You don't want to drink a lot of water really fast... try about 1 glass every hour or two... you really need to get something solid in your stomach to help with the nausea. Find something soft like yogurt, oatmeal, or maybe a smoothie with fruit... don't worry the antibiotics will make it better soon! Good Luck!
