<s>[INST] Bank holiday Monday I got lots of itchy welts. They returned on the Tuesday and Wednesday nights in differing places. The same Tuesday my glands came up (painfully so) and after a few days I gained many flu symptoms one by one including a blocked nose and a (very) sore throat. I also began to be very gassy though my stomach did not hurt. I have slept very little at night and my appitite was gone by the Thursday. Sunday night I gagged while brushing my teeth, burped, dry heaved twice then threw up. Only bile came out. I noticed that I would release gas just after I drank and that my saliva would get thicker. Now it is always thick. I tried Beechams tablets and it barely touched it. Night Nurse worked for a few hours but I felt a lot worse when I woke up fully (3.40 am) - I had woken up many times in the night before it and managed to sleep again but after that point, getting back to sleep was very hard. It has been a week and a half since all this started and I an desperately seeking relief. Can you help me? [/INST] thanks for posting your query to HCM. As I understand you are suffering from some kind of alergic illness as all this symptom goes in favor of some expouser to allergen . along with this you have also got gastritis. you dont need to be worried as it can be releived by medication . I suggest you to take some antihistaminics tablet and NSAIDS group of tablets for releiving your flu like symptoms and some antacids and PPIs like pentoperazole to releive gastric illness. thanks and feel free to follow up . </s>
