Question
Last night, around 3 am, I started experiencing stomach pain after eating leftover sweet potatoes. I then felt cold and had a fever. Will this affect my pregnancy?
Answer
Based on your symptoms description and age, it is suspected that you might have acute gastritis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a stool test. If diagnosed with gastritis, antibiotic treatment will be required, along with symptomatic anti-diarrheal and pain-relieving medications. If not gastritis, then only symptomatic treatment is needed.
