Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
5 Year Kid, Looking Pale, Vomiting, Fever, Loss Of Appetite. Any Ideas?
My 5 year old came home from kindergarten yesterday looking very pale. A few hours later, she began vomiting and developed a fever of about 100.5, It was a warm day yesterday and I know they had recess outside. She also has a longer bus ride home. She had no other symptoms except she was very tired and no appetite. This morning she slept very late. When she got up she ate a lot and drank a full box of juice. She doesn't look pale, etc. Any idea if this is a virus or maybe something to do with heat?
It is too early to say what is the possible cause of the symptoms described by you. I suggest that you give her paracetamol/acetaminophen to reduce the temperature and observe for the next 24 hours. Most probably it could be heat exhaustion.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
