Pain low down & high temperature

[Kip1]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can give some advice. I have pain quite low down from the right side to the middle of my of my tummy & I have a high temperature & feel quite unwell.
Its bank holiday weekend & dont really want to go sit in a&e for hours as we have a new puppy at home & partly because I am scared of not being allowed back home.
I just feel exhausted & the paracetamol & the dreaded Ibruprofen (I know I shouldnt but I felt so bad) are no longer working. Is there any other pain killers that are safe to take.

I have too much going on to be ill right now.

I forgot to add I have had the pain for about 10 days but it has begun to get worse over last 2 days. It started 10 days ago when I had a tummy bug. I know it was a tummy bug & not the Crohns as my girls had it too, but I am now left with this nagging pain low down.

running a high temp and feeling unwell plus the pain .. dont bugger about and call the NHS DIRECT LINE 0845 4647 .. they will pass the info on to a doctor and if the doc says so they will either come out to you or get you in to see the local doctor !

please dont leave it .. this is exactly what i done and it cost me a ambulance trip in the end.

if there no help then you can get 8/500 codamol over the counter at a chemist , these are the strongest you can get without a prescription.

there 500mg of paracetamol with 8mg codeine (dont take these if you have takes paracetamol in the last 6 hours).

have you tried a hot water bottle , it does work belive it or not

also note .. you can take paracetamol and ibufen together.
