I had a severe GI illness and am very dehydrated, with symptoms like chills and a low-grade fever. I was prescribed Z Pack, anti-nausea, and anti-diarrhea meds. I tested negative for Covid and influenza. I have GERD, which is now severe if I try to eat. I have tickets to a concert tonight but am unsure if I am contagious. Should I cancel the event, and is it wise to go to the ER for an IV?

I am also taking hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) and atorvastatin (10mg) daily, and took the hydrochlorothiazide with the lisinopril.

I have been experiencing headaches, insomnia, and persistent nausea for the past three days. I am a 50-year-old female, have taken ibuprofen and ginger for nausea, and have no other symptoms. The headaches may be related to working at a computer all day, as they are disrupting my sleep. The nausea is worse in the morning and late afternoon and sometimes occurs when I haven't slept well. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms?
