I went to Thanksgiving and there were a few running nose kids (grandbaby and grandcousins). Also yesterday I cleaned out my closet, as it had a layer of dust on the clothes and everywhere from some home maintenance. As I was cleaning it out I was sneezing (allergies) so I put on a dust mask, perhaps a little late. So last night I started a drippy nose (clear), congestion, and a little cough which was dry and none productive. (I took a decongestant and a Antihistamine) (it dried out my nose and throat) My temp this morning was 100.6 so I took Advil, still had some chills and cough and congestion. About 5 hours later I took my temp and it was 101.3, so I called the nurse on call. (I am 6 weeks past chemo and 5 weeks past radiation) I ALSO told her I am getting a bad smell from my PEG ever now and then. She said to keep taking Advil or Tylenol and call a and talk to the Doctor Monday. Then she called back about 20mins later and said if my temp gets above 100.5 to go to ER because she thinks I May have PEG infection. She said they will take out the PEG and check for infection and give anti-biotic. Well about 1.5 hours later it was 99.7 and I don't feel the chills either.
Question, Since I started Drinking my Jevity (and eating a LITTLE) I haven't used my PEG for food in 10 days or so. When I drink my 2 cans (8oz each) I have been slamming it down less that 5 mins for both. Could I be drinking too much at once and it is coming out of my stomach? My stomach has always been big and it still is. ? I will go to the ER if my temp goes up, but I don't want to spend the night... ofcourse... And the OC office clinic was closed Thrs and Fri for holidays so it will be triple packed Monday and don't really want to go there....
