What Causes Fever And Stomach Pain In Child?

HSP My son is 5 years old and was diagnosed with HSP a few months ago and was hospitalized. He got better, but a few Weeks ago he had a cold and his purpura came back and within days was gone again with no other symptoms. He sat on the toilet for an hour yesterday moaning that he couldnt poop and that his belly was killing him. Starting last night he got a cough and he woke me up this morning saying he couldn t feel his toes and he had a fever of 102. He still has the fever and complaining of a terrible stomach ache and his feet hurt and still saying he can t feel his toes. talked to his doc and he doc and he thinks he is just getting a cold. Please help should I take him to the hospital?
