Suggest Treatment For Stomach Ache And Fever In A Child
My three year old daughter has had a fever for eight days and soon to be nine. Last friday after her fever hadn t gone away I called her doctor and informed him that she had been exposed to strep and had the symptoms. Fever, sore throat, abdominal pain, etc. He prescribed her amoxicillin and on Monday she was still suffereing from the same symptoms. Monday I brought her to see a pediatrician in the same clinic. Over the weekend she had two loose black to grey stools. The pediatrician prescribed her a new antibiotic for an ear infection. After recieving the new antibiotic she had two green stools. She is still getting fevers that come and go and she is very sweaty at night. She is pale, her pupils are always dialated and she will barely eat. When she does she complains of pain. She told me today that her tummy hurt on both sides. What do I do?
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having symptoms of stomach ache and fever which seems to be due to food poisoning/ acute gastroenteritis and electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. Give her banana on daily basis and light food. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. You should give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole. You should take oral rehydrating solution as well.
