Can Flu Cause Distended And Hard Stomach For A Child?
My 2 year old son recently had a mild fever and 3 episodes of vomiting over a period of 3 days. We assume it's flu since his playmates have had similar. tonight I noticed that his stomach was slightly distended and hard (mostly above bellybutton). We have been giving him Tylenol and advil with only one dose today. No fever since yesterday however he still feels warmer than normal.
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
By what you quote it seems harmless to me. But i can give you a perfect opinion only after seeing and examining he tummy of your kid, because flu doesn't cause tummy distension. So I suggest you see your pediatrician regarding this.
