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.
hello, my 10 year old son said his stomach hurt last night and this morning he made it threw school a 1/2 day he is burping and it smells like rotten eggs he also puked and it stuck like eggs also he is now running a 100 fever he said the milk at school was bad yesterday in school could that be what is doing it ? or do u think he needs to be seen
Probably your son has got a gastro intestinal infection which is demonstrated by the presence of fever and foul smelling burp along with vomiting. Most of such infections are self correcting and recovery occurs in 3-5 days irrespective of the use of antibiotics. The mainstay of treatment would be to give oral rehydration solution (ORS) to replenish the amount of salts and water lost. Plenty of curd or yogurt needs to be given to increase the amount of good bacteria in the bowels.
It would still worthwhile to visit a doctor and to get the child examined to rule out other possibilities and to treat accordingly.
