<p>In the following sentence:</p>

<p>In this sentence, what does 全都翻了个儿 mean? The words before that all mean the bad deseaces caused by drugs, so 全都 mean all of these symptons. But then what does 翻了个儿 mean?</p>

<p>In my understanding, 翻 here means "turn over" something like that, not "translate" or "double" I think. But then what does the 个儿 mean? 了 is the completion partice, right?</p>

"everything has been turned upside down", " a lot of disorder has been caused" 翻个儿 see e.g. bkrs coll.
1) turn upside down or inside out
2) roll/turn over
3) turn over a new leaf; make a fresh start

So does that mean all of those symptoms keep bothering the person?

sounds like a reasonable conclusion, maybe stated health problems cause a feeling of the world turned on its head
