My 16-year old daughter has been ill for 8 days now. Symptoms are vomiting (in the first week), loss of appetite, excrutiating abdominal cramps, sore throat, slight fever, lethargy. A doctor administered two antibiotic injections three days ago...she is still ill as before. What could be the problem. I am becoming extremely concerned

Hi.
The commonest cause of pain in abdomen, vomiting, fever , sore-throat and all in a girl of 16 years can be due to infection.
Only 2 shots of antibiotic may not work at all.
I think she needs to continue a course of an antibiotic and symptomatic treatment.
Till then get her blood, urine, stool and ultrasonography done.
Widal for typhoid to be done.
Take a second opinion of another Doctor.
