Is Long Lasting Vomiting,diarrhea And Fever Sign Of Stomach Virus?
My son just turned 3. He has been sick for 4 plus days.It started Friday night with vomiting and diarreah about 6 times through the night. He vomited once on Sat. Morning and slept all day moaning and groaning. He ran a low grade temp throughout. Sunday he was not himself and by Sunday night he was doubled over with stomach pains and had a lot of diarreah and vomited once. He has continued to have diarreah and just wants to sleep or lay around. He refuses to eat but has been drinking adequately. I have given him simethicone and tylenol. It is now Tuesday and he has a low grade temp and is still just laying around. Is it usual for this to last this many days and do you have any suggestions on treatment? I took him to the dr yesterday and they said it was a stomach virus. thank you

viruses causing diarrhoea usually dont cause vomitting except causing secondary viral hepatitis. this seems to b a case of acute gastroenteritis which is usually self limiting. in this u need nothing to do except maintaining water balance of body and symptomatic management
