Reasons for appearance
In 95% of cases, nausea is a symptom of the presence of a virus or infection in the gastrointestinal tract, where there is a focus of inflammation.
Among the most common reasons are:
- stomach diseases - gastritis, ulcers, reflux, acidity disorders;
- intestinal pathologies – colitis, gastroenterocolitis, irritable bowel syndrome;
- rotavirus or intestinal infection;
- acute appendicitis;
- chronic pancreatitis;
- cholecystitis.
Also, with nausea, you may feel dizzy, which is a clear sign of impaired cerebral blood supply, which contributes to the further development of a stroke. The same symptoms are characteristic of vascular diseases, as well as thrombophlebitis, in which blood clots in the vessels block the natural blood flow, from which oxygen starvation occurs.
Other, non-infectious causes of headaches
Headache, nausea and weakness - these ailments are the subject of research and discussion among medical luminaries. However, these symptoms haunt people of different ages to this day. At this stage, there is no single drug that can stop general malaise and headaches. Therefore, the manifestation of at least one of the symptoms requires mandatory consultation with a specialist. Non-infectious causes of diseases, which result in: headache, nausea, dizziness and an additional symptom of temperature not exceeding 37 on the thermometer, alarming indicators of ill health.
The danger of non-communicable diseases lies in the fact that they are typical for all age categories, although they are not transmitted through human contact. Diseases are alarming due to their duration and severe consequences.
Among the non-infectious class of diseases, doctors distinguish:
- hypertension;
- thermoneurosis;
- dysmenorrhea;
- polygelosis
- osteochondrosis;
- migraine.
A common disease of our time is circulatory disorders in the brain. It can be caused by narrowing of the passages in the blood vessel and their blocking may occur. At the same time, the supply of oxygen to the brain cells and their nutrition with necessary substances stops. In any case, the consequence may be a new disease such as a stroke.
Symptoms
Nausea is often accompanied by other symptoms, identifying which can make a preliminary diagnosis:
- High temperature and severe chills may indicate the presence of an infectious or viral inflammatory process in the body.
- Dizziness and weakness, which smoothly flow into a semi-fainting state, are characteristic of cerebrovascular accidents and pathologies of the vestibular apparatus. When you feel very dizzy and have poor coordination of movements, which is reinforced by an attack of nausea, the risk of developing a stroke is high.
- Low temperature and pale skin also indicate a stroke or heart attack, especially if there are problems with the vascular system.
- Increased heart rate (tachycardia).
- General weakness, lack of appetite.
Determining the main causes of fever and nausea
Nausea and fever that occur should always force a person to treat such symptoms responsibly. This condition, as a rule, indicates a danger to the health, and sometimes to the life of the patient.
Experts consider the following to be the main causes of elevated temperature, which is accompanied by nausea:
- infectious diseases (meningitis, rotavirus infection, viral hepatitis, acute respiratory viral diseases, foodborne illnesses, peritonitis);
- acute appendicitis;
- inflammatory kidney diseases;
- inflammatory processes occurring in the liver, stomach, pancreas;
- oncological diseases.
This is not a complete list of conditions that require urgent medical attention.
A rapid increase in body temperature and the appearance of nausea and vomiting are most typical for bacterial and viral diseases. During the period of intensive proliferation of microorganisms, a significant amount of toxic substances - waste products of viruses and bacteria - are released into the blood, lymphatic system, and intercellular space. There is also the formation of the body’s immune response in the form of an increase in body temperature, the formation of interferons and immunoglobulins.
Symptomatically, the patient experiences chills, increased body temperature, nausea and vomiting. The higher the concentration of toxins during infections, the stronger these sensations. Children's bodies react especially sharply to the presence of viruses and bacteria. Therefore, it is not surprising that an increase in temperature in a child is often accompanied by weakness, lack of appetite, nausea, and vomiting.
An attack of acute appendicitis, along with severe pain in the lower abdomen on the right, is often characterized by an increase in temperature to 380, weakness, increased heart rate, nausea and vomiting, which does not bring relief.
Inflammatory diseases occurring in the kidneys against the background of infectious processes, urolithiasis, are manifested by fever, increased blood pressure, nausea and vomiting. When the urinary system is disrupted and its filtering function is distorted, the body becomes poisoned with its own waste products.
Nausea and fever with gastritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, cholelithiasis appear as a result of a failure in the absorption of nutrients, destruction and inflammation of the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. The appearance of pain, as well as vomit the color of coffee grounds, is dangerous, which indicates the presence of bleeding.
Nausea, vomiting, and fever often accompany tumor processes. Tissue necrosis, disruption of the vital functions of entire systems and organs are manifested in the form of high or moderate temperature, enlarged lymph nodes, general intoxication and weakness.
When is medical help needed immediately?
In some situations, fever and nausea may indicate the presence of dangerous processes in the body that require emergency assistance. You should consult a doctor immediately when:
- the patient has difficulty breathing, shortness of breath appears;
- body temperature is unstable, can sharply decrease and increase to critical levels;
- vomiting with blood appears;
- intestinal bleeding accompanying profuse diarrhea;
- signs of dehydration;
- loss of consciousness;
- the presence of these signs in children, especially under 3 years of age.
It is important to understand that an increase in temperature is a completely natural process that activates natural protection. An increase in the synthesis of leukocytes by the bone marrow and an increase in their concentration in the blood is the temperature. Nausea, in turn, can indicate both acute respiratory infections and intestinal poisoning, so if there is no certainty in the diagnosis, it is better to entrust treatment to a specialist.
Non-infectious causes
When a malfunction of the autonomic nervous system occurs in the human body, spasms of blood vessels are observed. The problem occurs in the area of the brain that is responsible for thermoregulation of the body.
Normal body temperature should not exceed the limit of 37 degrees, but if the center that responds to temperature regulation malfunctions, then low-grade fever can last about a week, and sometimes longer.
Poisoning the body with chemical compounds leads to an increase in temperature and headache. Often there is a disturbance in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, and a metallic taste in the oral cavity.
The causes of a whole complex of negative symptoms may indicate the development of the following non-infectious pathologies:
- Acute appendicitis.
- Intestinal obstruction.
- Acute form of pancreatitis or cholecystitis.
- Purulent processes in the body of any location.
- Ulcerative diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
In fact, you can list diseases endlessly, and you won’t be able to diagnose yourself.
Therefore, if negative symptoms do not decrease, but only become more pronounced and intense, it is recommended to visit a doctor.
Only the doctor will determine the correct causes of the condition and prescribe appropriate, and most importantly adequate, treatment.
Condition in pregnant women
Paradoxically, it is during pregnancy that nausea and fever are a common occurrence, occurring in every third pregnant woman. The fact is that the hormonal changes necessary to adapt the body to bearing a fetus affect all organs and systems. A manifestation such as toxicosis is observed, which is determined by increased sensitivity to smells and tastes, which can provoke an attack of nausea and vomiting. Toxicosis usually appears in the first trimester, when the body is just beginning to undergo restructuring. By the second trimester, the annoying nausea in the morning goes away, after which you can fully taste all the charm of an interesting situation.
As for the increase in temperature, during the period of gestation, it rises quite often. This is due to this: reduced immunity, necessary for the full development of the fertilized egg in the first trimester, is the cause of frequent colds and infections. Therefore, an increase in temperature as a natural process during pregnancy must be monitored by a doctor.
Nausea and fever in the first trimester of pregnancy
Often such symptoms occur at the very beginning of pregnancy. The body is actively preparing for childbirth and adapting to the second organism inside. Now the body of the expectant mother must work on 2 fronts.
The main reason is changes in hormones. The body secretes large amounts of the hormone progesterone. It is necessary for the fetus to take root and survive properly.
In this case, there is a slight increase in body temperature. Usually no higher than 37.5 degrees.
Also, pregnant women need to be more responsible about their condition. Sometimes fever combined with nausea and vomiting is a sign of illness.
During this period, a woman’s immunity is greatly weakened, which means the risk of disease increases significantly.
Pregnant women, especially in the first 12 weeks, need:
- Limit visiting crowded places. Particularly less likely to be on the subway or other public transport.
- Maintain good hygiene.
A viral disease can cause complications such as pyelonephritis. This is a disease and inflammation of the kidneys that occurs in every second pregnant woman.
Symptoms of pyelonephritis:
- Pain in the lower back.
- Weakness.
- Headache.
- Vomit.
- High body temperature.
- Urinary dysfunction. The woman feels pain at this moment.
In addition to pyelonephritis, there is a high probability of getting an intestinal infection. Signs:
- Increased body temperature.
- Nausea.
- Diarrhea.
- Abdominal pain.
It is difficult for a pregnant woman to carry out treatment without a doctor’s prescription. She is now responsible not only for herself, but also for the baby.
During this period, important fetal laying occurs. The development of organs and all vital systems occurs.
If you experience symptoms such as nausea and fever, you should immediately visit a doctor. The body temperature should not be allowed to rise.
This can negatively affect the child's health. This can cause various defects and mental retardation. High temperature causes a problem in the blood supply to the placenta.
The result is a miscarriage or frozen pregnancy.
Condition in children
The appearance of such signs, especially in young children, may indicate a variety of diseases that cannot be diagnosed independently without the help of doctors. Children are not able to describe their condition, therefore, to establish an accurate diagnosis, they use all possible diagnostic methods.
Seeing a doctor should be mandatory when symptoms such as:
- lethargy of the child, reluctance to play;
- lack of appetite;
- refusal to drink;
- constant drowsiness;
- Pulse abnormality: too fast or slow.
A child's body is less protected and more susceptible to infection by bacteria and viruses, so nausea and fever can occur much more often than in an adult. This is especially true during the teething period, when the lining of the gums is damaged by the edge of the erupting tooth, which represents an “open gate” for infections.
Temperatures in children above 38.5°C should be monitored by doctors. Therefore, if a child is lethargic, sleepy, refuses to eat, and his temperature is above normal, you should go to the hospital to identify the cause and undergo treatment. You may have to give an injection or a cleansing enema. Self-medication in this case is completely excluded, since the impossibility of home diagnostics does not allow determining the root cause of the symptoms.
What should you be wary of if you have an elevated body temperature in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy?
At this time, the most important thing in the development of the fetus occurs: the formation and development of various organs and systems of the future person.
If body temperature rises to 38 degrees Celsius and above, this can lead to many developmental defects, as well as mental retardation. At elevated body temperatures, the blood supply to the placenta suffers, which can cause miscarriage and frozen pregnancy.
Actions to take if you have a high temperature during pregnancy:
- If the body temperature has increased slightly (37-37.6 degrees Celsius), and there are no symptoms that cause concern, such as severe and frequent vomiting, pain in the lower abdomen or pain in the lumbar region, then there is no reason to worry.
- A body temperature above 37.7 is an indicator at which it is worth consulting a doctor, and he, in turn, will conduct an examination, identify the causes and prescribe the correct treatment.
Helminths are dangerous to the body; their waste products are toxic and provoke inflammatory processes where they live.
Treatment should be started immediately! Protect yourself and your loved ones!
In such cases, our readers recommend using the latest remedy - Tibetan collection TIBETTEA against parasites.
It has the following properties:
- Kills more than 120 types of parasites in 1 course
- Has an anti-inflammatory effect
- Breaks down and removes eggs and larvae of parasites
- Destroys pathogenic bacteria and viruses
- Removes waste and toxins
The next reason may be intoxication of the body (or poisoning).
May result from:
- use of narcotic and alcoholic substances;
- consumption of spoiled or low-quality food;
- inhalation of toxic substances;
- drug poisoning;
- carbon monoxide poisoning;
- entry of chemicals into the body.
Symptoms characterizing intoxication of the body:
- dizziness;
- shortness of breath;
- nausea and vomiting;
- increased body temperature;
- blood pressure is above or below normal;
- tachycardia;
- chills and cold sweats;
- complete lack of appetite.
Nausea during intoxication indicates the activation of the body’s protective functions, which help remove harmful substances, which also cause this condition. This is why you shouldn’t stop the nausea.
In case of food poisoning, you should rinse your stomach with plenty of water and take absorbent agents such as Polysorb or activated carbon. But it should be remembered that all drugs have contraindications.
Symptoms requiring medical attention:
- nausea, which is characterized by multiple sharp pains and cramps in the lower abdomen;
- signs of dehydration, dry mouth;
- a sharp deterioration in physical or mental activity;
- dizziness;
- high body temperature;
- childhood.
If the patient experiences nausea, which is accompanied by fever, diarrhea, and vomiting:
- He is placed in bed so that his head is higher than his body.
- Turn on side.
- Place a wet towel on the forehead to reduce the temperature.
If the patient is dehydrated, it is not recommended to give food to him, but it is better to drink a lot and in small portions. Regular drinking water or a glucose-saline solution is suitable for this.
Stories from our readers!
“A medical examination showed that I have parasites. A friend brought a package of herbal tea to strengthen the immune system, destroy parasites and their waste products.
I didn't expect such an effect. The body was restored, even the skin became smooth and even, the stool returned to normal. I’m very happy with this result.”
High body temperature and nausea in children are signs of illness for which you should consult a doctor. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the whole situation.
Fever that does not stop for a long time affects the functioning of internal organs, the nervous system and blood circulation. Consequences may include convulsions, seizures, and disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system.
What to do:
- Body temperature of 38.5 and above requires immediate reduction. Approved medications for children are medications based on ibuprofen and paracetamol. Please note that many antipyretics cannot be taken by children.
- Make sure that dehydration does not occur. It is especially dangerous for the little ones. Dehydration occurs with severe and frequent vomiting and diarrhea.
Symptoms of dehydration:
- sunken eyes;
- urination becomes rare or disappears altogether;
- dry lips and tongue.
To prevent dehydration, the patient must be given water frequently, but in small doses, with regular drinking water or special saline solutions.
What to do?
If we talk about self-medication for adults, its specificity depends entirely on the root cause of the symptoms. Let's look at all the possible ways to help:
- Nausea and fever after overeating may be a problem in the pancreas, the increased load on which does not allow it to produce the required amount of enzymes. Pancreatin or drugs that contain it will help: Smecta, Mezim, Creon.
- Symptoms of acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory viral infections - you should take antiviral drugs, which are infested with modern pharmacies. Most of them have a complex effect, allowing you to fight viruses and microbes at the same time: Flukold, Cold-Flu, Lavomax, Anaferon, Aflubin.
- In case of poisoning, the drugs Nufuroxazide, Furosemide, activated carbon and any other sorbents that can bind and remove waste and toxins accumulated in the intestines will help.
- Treatment of toxicosis requires an integrated approach. It is carried out strictly in a hospital, where the most gentle treatment is selected for the pregnant woman.
Folk remedies
Alternative medicine recipes are appropriate only when it comes to intestinal infections and stomach diseases. They are allowed to be used only after consultation with a doctor. The most popular of them are the following:
- Chamomile decoction (chamomile tea) – cleanses the stomach and intestinal mucosa from pathogenic bacteria, normalizing digestion.
- A decoction of St. John's wort and sage helps to cope with nausea caused by dysfunction of the pancreas.
- Using a dehydration solution - add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of soda to 1 liter of boiled water. The solution helps avoid dehydration (especially when vomiting), and also normalizes digestion.
Danger of condition
It is important not to let the symptoms go unnoticed, as they can develop into more serious manifestations that will definitely not go away without leaving a trace on the body. If nausea, weakness and high fever persist for more than a day, then you need the help of a doctor, and in some cases even hospitalization. Lack of timely treatment can lead to a lot of negative consequences for the body.
Thus, such manifestations are common to many diseases, which cannot be recognized only by external signs. The earlier treatment is started, the greater the chances of a speedy recovery. In childhood, it is better not to self-medicate at all, giving preference to doctors.
Vomiting and fever in adults can occur for various reasons. Most often these are diseases of the digestive organs, poisoning with toxic substances or general infectious diseases of the whole body . No one is immune from such unpleasant conditions; they can begin suddenly, against the backdrop of seemingly complete well-being. A sick person can only guess about the true cause of the disease by comparing previous events. Only a doctor can accurately determine the cause of vomiting, which is accompanied by fever, and prescribe appropriate treatment.
Are you suffering from nausea, dizziness, weakness? Causes and treatment
If symptoms of general malaise occur in the body, such as nausea, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness, it is quite difficult to identify the causes. After all, such a clinical picture is observed in various chronic and acute diseases.
Possible causes of general malaise
Nausea, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness occur in various disorders of the body and can be a consequence of chronic diseases or arise as a result of exposure to external unfavorable factors.
Poor health is observed with endocrine, neurological, cardiovascular diseases, these include:
- Pathologies of the thyroid gland: thyrotoxicosis, hypothyroidism.
- Diabetes.
- Vascular diseases: hypertension, bradycardia.
- Neurological disorders: cervical osteochondrosis, cerebrovascular accident, increased intracranial pressure, vegetative-vascular dystonia, migraine, traumatic brain injury.
- Gastrointestinal pathologies: chronic ulcers beyond the acute stage, helminth infection.
- Ophthalmological diseases: increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma.
- Metabolic disorders, vitamin deficiencies, anemia.
Symptoms of general malaise are observed at the beginning of the development of viral or infectious diseases, followed by an increase in body temperature and the addition of accompanying symptoms.
Nausea, weakness, dizziness and drowsiness in women may occur before menstruation or be a sign of pregnancy.
Deterioration in well-being can be caused by the influence of external unfavorable factors on the body:
- taking medications;
- influence of temperature influences: hypothermia, overheating;
- radiation exposure;
- food or chemical poisoning;
- intense physical activity.
To determine the cause of nausea, dizziness and weakness, you should consult a doctor. The persistence of persistent symptoms for a long time indicates obvious disturbances in the functioning of the body and require immediate diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
Neurological and vascular disorders
Loss of strength often manifests itself in cerebrovascular insufficiency caused by neurological and vascular pathologies:
- migraine;
- compression of the vertebral artery by deformed vertebral discs in cervical osteochondrosis;
- vegetative-vascular dystonia;
- hypertension or hypotension;
- heart failure.
Nausea, weakness and dizziness appear after physical exertion and emotional stress. People with chronic brain disorders are usually weather dependent. They feel dizzy and nauseous when there is a sudden change in weather.
Neurological and vascular disorders
accompanied by periodic attacks of headaches that occur suddenly. The pain is pulsating or pressing in nature and may be accompanied by tinnitus and the appearance of “floaters” before the eyes. Migraine pain intensifies under the influence of external stimuli: light, loud sounds. Patients feel sick and nauseous from strong odors.
Attacks of vegetative-vascular dystonia
accompanied by dizziness and blurred vision. It suddenly becomes worse when taking a vertical position, for example, after sleep: cold sweat appears, darkening occurs in the eyes, a feeling of lack of air is felt, nausea may be accompanied by vomiting.
For heart failure
In addition to nausea, dizziness and weakness, other symptoms are also typical: sweating in the back of the head and neck during bedtime, shortness of breath with excessive physical exertion, increased or decreased heart rate.
To diagnose cerebrovascular insufficiency, you must consult a neurologist and undergo examinations of the brain and blood vessels.
Endocrine diseases
Thyroid disorders
associated with increased or insufficient production of thyroid hormones, in the early stages they are expressed by symptoms of general malaise: nausea, weakness, drowsiness.
For thyrotoxicosis
or excess levels of thyroid hormones indicate:
- weakness and dizziness;
- nausea;
- drowsiness or insomnia;
- chronic fatigue;
- hair loss;
- increased emotionality, irritability.
This clinical picture of thyrotoxicosis persists for up to 4–6 months. As the disease progresses, the symptoms are supplemented by other signs: tremor (shaking in the body, trembling in the limbs, twitching of the eyelids), muscle weakness, ophthalmological disorders (bulging eyes).
Hypothyroidism
or insufficient levels of thyroid hormones are also clinically manifested by nonspecific signs:
- general weakness;
- dizziness;
- drowsiness;
- nausea;
- constipation;
- brittle nails and hair loss;
- depression;
- menstrual irregularities;
- increased sensitivity to air temperature: constantly cold or, on the contrary, hot.
Thyrotoxicosis after 4–6 months manifests itself with specific symptoms, which is not observed with hypothyroidism, and presents significant difficulties in identifying the disease.
Diagnosis of thyroid diseases is made by an endocrinologist and includes: study of the concentration of thyroid hormones in the blood, ultrasound of the thyroid gland. The specialist will tell you why such pathologies appear, and what to do if the diagnosis is confirmed.
Diabetes
Poor health occurs in patients with diabetes mellitus against the background of hyperglycemia, which is characterized by the following symptoms:
- general and muscle weakness;
- frequent urination;
- constant thirst;
- morning sickness;
- decreased performance;
- drowsiness;
- skin itching.
- heavy sweating.
A specific symptom for diabetes mellitus due to insulin deficiency is a sharp weight loss of up to 15 kg within 2 months.
Diagnosis of the disease is carried out by an endocrinologist.
Anemia and vitamin deficiencies
Insufficient intake of vitamins and microelements from food leads to the development of hypovitaminosis and anemia.
In the early stages, deficiency states are manifested by general weakness: almost constantly dizzy when suddenly rising from a sitting or lying position, as well as during physical exertion, inclination to sleep even after proper rest, and morning sickness is observed.
With persistent deficiency of vitamins and microelements, disorders develop in all systems and organs of the body.
To diagnose anemia and vitamin deficiency, you must contact your local physician and take a general and biochemical blood test.
Viral and bacterial infections
A sudden deterioration in health, expressed by dizziness, weakness, nausea and drowsiness, may indicate the development of an acute infection. Such symptoms are observed in the early stages of influenza and ARVI, with meningitis and intestinal infections.
Acute infectious diseases are characterized by a rapid clinical course
.
A few hours after the first signs of illness appear, chills and lethargy usually develop, accompanied by an increase in body temperature. Then specific signs of the disease appear:
vomiting, nausea and diarrhea due to intestinal infections;
- runny nose with acute rhinitis and sinusitis;
- cough with pneumonia, bronchitis and tracheitis;
- sore throat due to pharyngitis and tonsillitis;
- ear pain due to otitis media;
- numbness of the neck muscles with meningitis.
If you experience symptoms of general malaise accompanied by an increase in body temperature, you should immediately consult a doctor or call emergency medical care.
Helminthiasis
The chronic stage of helminthiasis is characterized by nausea, dizziness and headaches, weakness, and decreased ability to work. Periodically, bowel problems (diarrhea or constipation) and discomfort in the abdomen occur. Against the background of nausea, isolated cases of vomiting may occur.
Some types of helminthic infestations are not detected during stool examination, which significantly complicates the diagnosis of the disease. Many people are forced to coexist with parasites in their intestines without even realizing they are there.
The optimal diagnostic method for determining helminthiases is blood testing using ELISA, RNGA, and RLA methods.
Exogenous factors
To determine the possible cause of nausea, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness, previous events should be analyzed. Such symptoms may appear as a result of the influence of unfavorable factors:
- recent head contusions;
- stressful situation;
- emotional stress;
- long concentrated painstaking work or physical activity;
- inhalation of harmful fumes, for example, during hair dyeing or perming, when carrying out finishing work, when working in gassy or dusty rooms;
- long trip in transport, air travel;
- taking medications: sedatives, antihistamines, hormonal and painkillers.
The causes of dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and weakness may be fasting, hypothermia or overheating.
Pregnancy
The first signs of pregnancy may appear several days before your missed period, especially in women with irregular menstrual cycles.
As a result of a sharp hormonal change associated with a rapid increase in progesterone in the blood, the state of health slightly worsens. Women want to sleep all the time, concentration decreases, and performance is impaired.
Girls become whiny, irritable, their sense of smell increases, they experience morning sickness, and mild nausea during the day, provoked by strong odors.
Pregnancy can be diagnosed before a missed period using an analysis to determine the dynamic level of hCG. Many highly sensitive tests show a positive result 2 to 3 days before a missed period.
Symptoms of general malaise: weakness, nausea, dizziness and drowsiness are a kind of indicator of the state of the body. The persistent manifestation of such symptoms signals a possible pathology. Diagnosis of the body should begin as early as possible, without waiting for the development of various complications.
Possible causes of vomiting in an adult
Vomiting and fever in an adult are quite unpleasant phenomena and indicate problems in the body. Vomiting occurs due to uncontrolled contractions of the muscles of the stomach and intestines, when food in the digestive tract is pushed out . All this is accompanied by acute pain in the abdomen and stomach, as well as belching. Vomiting is preceded by persistent nausea and weakness. People cannot control the process of vomiting; it occurs spontaneously and requires emergency care. The main causes of the gag reflex are:
- Poisoning with low-quality products and toxic substances.
- Intestinal infections.
- Diseases of the liver and urinary tract.
- Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
- Brain damage, such as a concussion.
- Diseases of the digestive tract - gastritis and ulcers. With this pathology, vomit mixed with bile and blood inclusions.
High fever and vomiting in an adult may indicate cancer , so do not put off going to the doctor.
With the help of vomiting, the body tries to cleanse itself of harmful substances, microbes and decay products. A fever may indicate dehydration or excess toxins in the bloodstream.
Can vomiting be caused by fever?
The causes of nausea, vomiting and high fever are very diverse:
- Gastrointestinal diseases (ulcerative colitis, exacerbation of pancreatitis, liver disease, intestinal obstruction). In these cases, the gag reflex occurs after eating; the gastric contents contain impurities of blood or bile. The clinical picture is complemented by pain in the area of the affected organ, changes in stool (constipation or diarrhea), and belching.
- Kidney diseases. The inflammatory process disrupts the basic function of the kidneys - filtering blood and removing toxins. Gradually, decay products accumulate and begin to poison the body. Under these conditions, vomiting is a sign of severe intoxication and is accompanied by lower back pain, general weakness, and increased blood pressure.
- Infectious diseases. Viruses and bacteria enter the body and begin to actively multiply, releasing toxins. Nausea, hyperthermia, stomach discomfort, intestinal colic, and diarrhea appear. During the hot season, the main source of infections is poor-quality food.
- Toxic substances (poisons, heavy metal salts, acids, alkalis, excessive alcohol consumption). In case of poisoning, acute pain and burning in the stomach and nausea occur. The body, with the help of profuse vomiting and diarrhea, tries to get rid of toxins, and the temperature can rise to high numbers, which indicates the severity of the process.
It is difficult to make a correct diagnosis based solely on the combination of hyperthermia and the gag reflex. Sometimes these symptoms can be signs of two independent, but occurring at the same time, diseases. Fever is provoked by some chronic diseases - rheumatism, thyroid disorders and even oncological processes. And the gag reflex appears during a hypertensive crisis in the same patient.
There are cases when a sharp release of gastric contents occurs as a response to the rapid development of hyperthermia. With the help of heat, the body tries to destroy pathogenic viruses and bacteria, the level of toxins and breakdown products in the blood increases, and intoxication leads to nausea.
For young children, conditions are typical when one symptom leads to the appearance of another. With influenza, ARVI, teething, a sharp increase in body temperature to 38.5 degrees or more leads to headache, nausea, loose stools and a gag reflex. Irritation of the pharynx during a dry cough and an abundance of swallowed sputum during a wet cough can also cause the release of gastric contents.
When nausea occurs against the background of an increase in body temperature, a person develops fatigue syndrome, he feels weakened and lethargic. To eliminate unpleasant discomfort, you need to clarify its causes in order to select the optimal treatment option. The combined appearance of nausea and fever occurs equally in adult patients and children.
Clinical picture, symptoms of nausea and increased body temperature to 37, 37.5, 38, 38.5, 39, 39.5. and more than degrees, may be accompanied by other painful symptoms: attacks of vomiting, headaches, dizziness, abdominal pain, stool upset. Identifying the reasons if nausea, fever and weakness persist for 3-4 days is important to prevent the development of complications.
If a child or an adult has a fever and begins to feel sick, then there can be many reasons for nausea, vomiting, headache and low temperature of 37, 37.5, 38 and high temperature of 38.5, 39, 39.5 and 40 degrees. Further in the article, we will go into detail about what can cause a feeling in a child or an adult, as if dizzy, chills, what diseases there may be if the baby’s temperature begins to rise and he becomes weak.
1 If you feel sick and nauseous, your body temperature rises, but there is no vomiting or diarrhea, you may be talking about moderate food poisoning.
2 If you feel the urge to vomit and begin to feel sick, vomit, and then there is relief, there is no bowel disorder, most likely the person ate something stale.
3 When you start feeling dizzy and nauseous, your blood pressure may have jumped.
4 If there is a high temperature and severe chills, loss of strength and nausea, increased bowel movements, loose stools, you can suspect the presence of an intestinal infection.
5 When there is a low temperature, weakness and nausea, the chronic pathology of one of the gastrointestinal tract organs may have worsened.
6 If the patient is bothered by an uncomfortable condition, there is nagging and aching pain in the abdomen, side or back, weakness and nausea, there may be a problem with the kidneys.
7 When weakness and dizziness periodically occur, nausea appears, this may be the result of a head injury or the first harbingers of impaired cerebral circulation, which is dangerous for the development of a stroke condition.
8 When abdominal pain and nausea bother you, the temperature begins to rise, the intensity of abdominal colic tends to increase, diarrhea appears, the reasons should be looked for in intestinal pathologies.
9 Low temperature, nausea and weakness, as a symptom complex, are characteristic of chronic gastrointestinal diseases when they enter a period of exacerbation, for example, in spring and autumn.
10 With vascular pathologies, patients complain of periodic mild nausea and a feeling of weakness that occurs against the background of oxygen starvation.
1 gastritis (chronic or acute form of the disease);
4 irritable bowel syndrome;
5 cholecystitis (chronic);
7 chronic or acute appendicitis (there is pain in the right lower abdomen, chills, possible vomiting).
1 pain in the abdomen (in the epigastrium, side, hypochondrium), by the location of which the affected organ can be approximately determined;
2 the presence of dyspeptic symptoms: belching, heartburn, rumbling in the abdomen;
3 feeling of fullness in the stomach cavity, bloating in the abdomen;
4 nausea, vomiting;
5 gradual decrease in body weight;
6 paleness of the skin;7
altered perception of familiar tastes and smells.
1 fever and aversion to food, weakness appeared;
2 an attack of nausea can come from just looking at food;
3 often a high temperature rises and severe nausea;
4 suffers from repeated vomiting; impurities of bile can be seen in the vomit;
5 is worried about frequent loose stools.
1 viral infection of the body (rotavirus, enterovirus);
2 intestinal infections (salmonellosis, cholera, dysentery).
1 vomiting and nausea with fever – processes of an inflammatory or infectious nature are suspected in the body;
2 low-grade (37.0-37.3°C) temperature and nausea without vomiting are observed with exacerbation of gastritis, duodenitis, cholecystitis;
3 a feeling of weakness and nausea against the background of periodic dizziness may indicate problems with cerebral circulation;

How can I help you
If a person is bothered by nausea, vomiting, or fever, which is accompanied by general weakness, then it is necessary to show the patient to a doctor as quickly as possible. At home, you can provide first aid to prevent dehydration and deterioration of health . The list of what you can do before being examined by a doctor looks like this:
- If vomiting is a symptom of an intestinal infectious disease or poisoning, then the patient needs to rinse the stomach. This can be done at home, but provided that the person is fully conscious. For the procedure, take up to 7 liters of clean warm water or a weak solution of potassium permanganate. The victim is given up to one and a half liters of liquid to drink at a time, and then vomiting is induced by pressing on the base of the tongue.
- When the temperature is slightly above 37 degrees, antipyretic drugs are not used. The patient is simply monitored so as not to miss a further increase in temperature. If nausea appears and the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, this is more serious, the patient should be given paracetamol, ibuprofen or any other antipyretic drugs.
When vomiting, antipyretic drugs are given only in the form of tablets, which are pre-crushed or given intramuscular injections. Giving syrups and effervescent tablets is not recommended; they contain a lot of dyes, preservatives and flavors, which is bad for an irritated stomach.
- To relieve acute pain in the stomach, you can give a person antispasmodics, for example, no-shpa.
- The patient is provided with plenty of fluids. Drinks are given in small volumes, but very often. It is allowed to give compotes, decoctions of medicinal herbs, teas and rice water with raisins. It is forbidden to give carbonated drinks, concentrated juices and dairy products to a patient with vomiting.
- A person with vomiting, fever and stomach pain is placed comfortably on his side to avoid choking on vomit. The window is opened slightly to allow fresh air to enter.
What to do with fever and vomiting
This condition is “treated” by fasting and drinking plenty of fluids, and by self-washing the stomach. If an adult has vomiting and fever without diarrhea, then he needs to refuse food, but drink as much ordinary or mineral water as possible. The body must not become dehydrated, so you need to drink often, in small sips. If you still want to eat, then prefer broths, porridge with water, bananas. It is better to avoid juices, coffee, tea, and dairy products until complete recovery. Typically, such measures help improve well-being and stop vomiting. As a rule, if these measures are followed, vomiting and fever disappear the next day. However, if this does not happen, you should immediately see a doctor or call a team to your home.
Treatment in hospital
In case of severe pain in the stomach and nausea, which is accompanied by an elevated temperature, the patient is given symptomatic treatment, the order of which depends on the cause of the disease.
If the cause of vomiting and fever is food poisoning, then first rinse the stomach with a tube. After this, they do a cleansing enema and give adsorbents to drink. If necessary, antimicrobial drugs or antibiotics are prescribed. If dehydration is observed, then intravenous infusion of saline and glucose is indicated.
In case of poisoning with toxic substances, the stomach is also washed to remove any remaining poison, then adsorbents are given. The patient is prescribed a number of heart medications and allowed to breathe pure oxygen. Next, symptomatic therapy is carried out.
If the cause of vomiting with fever is liver disease, then hemodialysis is performed according to indications, adsorbents and medications are prescribed that promote the regeneration of liver cells. For gastric or duodenal ulcers, treatment measures are aimed at eliminating internal bleeding and quickly restoring the mucous membrane.
In case of poisoning with plant poisons or drugs, wash the stomach and intestines, give adsorbents and antidotes . For the rapid removal of toxic substances, forced diuresis is indicated.
If nausea, vomiting and fever began after a head injury, then medications are prescribed that restore brain cells and blood vessels. In addition, intravenous infusion of glucose and saline is indicated.
If the cause of nausea and vomiting in an adult is appendicitis, then urgent surgical intervention is indicated. The operation is performed under general anesthesia; the prognosis for timely treatment is favorable.
An adult should not self-medicate if nausea, vomiting and fever occur. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a full examination and a correct diagnosis. Only a qualified doctor can determine the exact cause of the ailment and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
What to pay attention to
There are several recommendations that should be followed when providing first aid to an adult who is suffering from vomiting and fever:
- If poisoning occurred with chemical burning substances, then gastric lavage at home is prohibited.
- If the body temperature is below 38 degrees, then there is no need to give antipyretic drugs.
- The patient should not be left unattended even for a few minutes; he may choke on vomit.
When vomiting occurs due to the use of certain medications, you need to save the packaging until the doctor arrives in order to quickly make a diagnosis.
Most adults are not very worried if they start vomiting, which is accompanied by hyperthermia. In fact, you need to see a doctor quickly, as this condition may signal the development of a dangerous disease. In this case, every lost hour costs not only health, but also life .
High fever and vomiting that appear in both an adult and a child are very alarming symptoms. It should be noted that they can accompany a number of different pathologies. Therefore, in this case it is very important to quickly make the correct diagnosis. After this, it will be possible to begin treatment, directing the main efforts to combating the root cause, and at the same time relieving unpleasant symptoms.
Temperature 37
In fact, everything is not as simple as we might think. A stable temperature of 37°C is almost always a signal of a pathological process in our body. Of course, transient physiological factors such as fatigue, stress and overexertion, ovulation or premenstrual syndrome in women can also play a role here. But if you feel that your unpleasant condition has been significantly prolonged, and any normal causes have been excluded, we recommend that you consult a doctor for an examination and diagnosis.
