What Causes Fever, Diarrhea And Vomiting In A Child?
2 1/2 year old child running fevers off and on for last month of 101 -102 degrees says that he is tired quite often. Approximately 1 month ago was vomiting and diarrhea but not anymore. Developed a rash at that time but is now gone. Was taken to a clinic where after 2nd time of going, did blood work, said that nothing showed up. Said rash was something that children 2 and under can develop?? Family history of heart murmur with mother, maternal grandfather & cousin. Thank you

Thanks for posting on Healthcaremagic. Most of the fevers along with rash are caused by viruses. Viral infections do not get identified in blood work. Most children are prone to such infections. That is the reason that your doctor said that it is not unusual for children to develop rashes. Your family history of heart disease is not relevant at the moment. You need not get concerned about the gastrointestinal upset that he suffered from.
