Suffering From Fever,stomach Flu & Vomiting
My ten year old granddaughter has had fevers for over two months off and on. The illness started with stomach flu, throwing up and fever. There seems to be a space of one to two weeks between the fevers. Sometimes she feels like throwing up and other times she doesn t. Today she has a fever of 101. We ve gone to her pediatrician, nothing showed up on blood tests, except an elevated c blood protein. Nothing on urine tests or fecal matter. More blood and urine tests are being done, we had them done on Friday, however I m getting concerned that she might have the beginnings of appendicitis. What do you think?
