Hi,

The vomiting and loss of appetite (I guess it started along with the said infection only) may be a part of food poisoning/water infection you mentioned. But whenever a child is having excessive night sweats and back pain of more than few days duration, I used to get a complete blood count with ESR and a peripheral smear. This is to rule out important conditions associated with high blood counts. This is especially important if the loss of appetite was there for long, even before the food poisoning and if he had significant weight loss. Kindly discuss with you doctor.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
