Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Stomach Pain

last sunday my six yo male son came to me complaining of a stomach ache. He rushed to bathroom where he vomited in the middle of diarrhea. He immediately felt better, eat dinner, showered, and went to bed like normal. Monday morning he vomited at school and was sent home, he slept all day complaining of stomach ache. That night fever reached 104 for a few hours, we were able to bring it down. Since then he has had low grade fever , 99-100, diarrhea has continued, stomach pain has moved from belly button region to lower groin area (pain present on both sides and middle). The fever and pain come in waves, leading me to think virus, but it has been 5 days now. I do not feel that an appendicitis could be the cause only because its been 5 days, but the pain waves seem to be getting worse. I do not have a car or medical insurance and thought it was a virus that would clear up by now, but I am thinking a medical opinion would be a good idea.

hello
welcome to HCM
i really appericate your query and gone through and understood,this was sure gastroenteritis which was most probably due to virus but might be bacterial also, if exposer of unhygienic condition or food and you definitely right that viral diarrhea will automatic clear but early start supportive treatment like antipyrative medicine , ORS,anti vomiting medicine,antispasmodic and soft and liquid diet.
If gastroenteritis not subside more than 2 days or more frequency of diarrhea and vomiting than 3 per day then immediately consult your physician. i hope this is helpful to you Please kindly rate it and write a short review about your experience with me!
Thank you and best regards!dr dinesh
