Pediatrician 's  Response
Thank you for following up. The symptoms of enterocolitis include:
1.Syndrome of intoxication:nausea, vomiting, weakness,dizziness
2.Pain syndrome:cramps,inflation of abdomen
3.Fever
It can be enterocolitis, foodborne disease.
For confirmation of enterocolitis stool culture for flora and sensitivity to antibiotic and stool analysis should have been done.
Best regards
