Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son had the stomach flu two days ago. He vomitted for a good 12 hours. He is now acting normal and wanting normal foods but his stomach is still sensative. However he has developed a vertical solid red rash on the left side of his abdomen it runs from his waist to his ribs. I m wondering what that might be and if I should take him to his doctor to be checked out.
Dear- weakness and fatigue are normal aftereffects from viral infection as flu.Other symptoms could be rash, any viral infection can give you flu like syndrome and rash. If he still with this problem for more than one week, please take him for an evaluation with the doctor. I hope he will be better soon Dr.Sara
