I have had ongoing sickness for 6 weeks, including pneumonia, a viral infection, and suspected viral meningitis. I've been hospitalized four times and experienced symptoms such as loss of appetite, lower right tummy pain, weight loss, extreme nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, fever, and chills.

I had a lap band in 2010 with no complications. I was recently hospitalized for depression and started on risperidone and nitrofurantoin for a UTI. Today, after taking these medications and eating a small meal, I experienced nausea, heartburn, and later vomited black. I am new to this area and don't have a doctor. What should I do?

I have a UTI and was prescribed MAROBID, but I experienced severe side effects like double vision, shaky hands, and excessive sweating. I am also allergic to certain antibiotics like bacterium, Cypro, and penicillin. What other antibiotics can I take, and is there a lower dose option with Benadryl?
