This started about a week ago have only eaten half bowl of cereal and a banana each day . Very dry mouth and a terrible thirst.
I think that sounds awful! You should see a doctor immediately, because that does not sound like it could be very comfortable to endure. It could also be a host of medical issues, so I'd recommend seeing your physician as soon as you possibly can. In the meantime, to keep your strength up, it might be a good idea to try eating soup or drinking milk or something that you can easily swallow so that you keep taking in calories. I wish you luck in your recovery, and we'd like to know how you're doing so keep us posted!
Hi:
Sounds like a virus of some sort, or perhaps a bacterial infection (this is the better of the two). You are entering into a vicious cycle because diet is now contributing to your problem, and you will get worse very quickly without good nutrition when you are ill. You should be careful about keeping a proper chemical balance in your body. If you don't, it could affect your heart function and other body systems. Get some Gatorade right away while you're waiting to see your doctor, which should be just about immediately. One week is too long to have your symptoms and not get treated. Don't play with this. Take care of yourself and let us know how you are doing.
