What Causes Fatigue And Stomach Upset In Children?

default
Posted on Mon, 20 Apr 2015
Question: I traveled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last week with my family. My 9 year old got very sick (vomiting, diarrhea and fever) and was prescribed Topron liquid by a local physician. He took it every 6 hours for four days and now is well. I had some initial fatigue and stomach upset but no pain or diarrhea. A full 5 days later I now have diarrhea, stomach pain and fatigue but no fever. This started today. Could I take the Topron as well? Is this typically something that will go away on it's own?
