I got the stomach flu including chillsthe night i received iv contrast for a ct scan. i also have hypothyroidism. could this have caused any problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: Side effects of IV contrast may include flushing, a feeling or warmth, and effects on the function of the kidneys. Symptoms of chills and stomach flu were probably not related to the contrast.
