Sister's rash & fever, hospital keeps sending her home
My sister started itching on her abdomen Christmas Eve, by the 26th it had spread across her entire abdomen and onto her limbs with extreme pain. After 6 hours in the hospital of fluids, ibuprofen, and topical cream she got sent home.The rash has stopped spreading but now itches but hasn't subsided. Can't get a hold of a dermatologist due to the holidays. Girl has a high pain tolerance but she is in immense pain. Was back in the hospital last night with abdominal cramps and UTI symptoms but got sent home this A.M. with antibiotics. She is 5 weeks pregnant. OBGYN also dissmive and said to take ibuprofen.
5 weeks pregnant, rash, excessive peeing but now dehydrated and presenting UTI symptoms but tested negative. Severe abdominal cramps and fever.
Any ideas what questions to ask the doctors? Or what additional symptoms to watch for?
