stomach and back pain

[heyhi]

For the past week my girlfriend has been saying she feels like shes getting sick. Friday she went home early becuase she thought she had the flu. all night shes had a stuffy noise mild headache and mild fever. She told me her head feels congetsted

Today she feels better except her stuffy nose and now she has had a pain for 5 hrs on her right lower stomach and its now moving around her lower back to her left side of stomach. shes taken tylonol cold and sinus. She said the pain was bad earlyer but mild now and wont go away.
I wanna take her to the hospital but she dosent wanna go yet. Should we be worry about anything major like swine flu.. ect

If she is feeling bad like that all week, maybe it would be best to get checked out. Is she running fever? Sometimes its better safe than sorry but if she is starting to feel better, just keep doing what you are doing. Im not a dr, but I know when I get sick, it lasts for about a week to a week and a half and it gets better day by day. Just watch for any serious symptoms, and if she gets anything like high fever, vomiting uncontrollably or diarrhea or pain that isnt going away and is severe I would definately go in. Hope she starts feeling better.. No one likes to be sick.

@Heyhi- stomach pain that radiates to the back is a symptom of many possible etiologies. It may be due to peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal malabsorption, or some tumors in the pancreas. I hope that you could convince her to go to her doctor.
