Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of fever, stomach pain and cold which could be due to infection either by viral microorganism leading to acute gastroenteritis. It is due to increased susceptibility of body of getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of outside food. Give child proper rest. You should maintain hydration status of child. Give diet rich in fibrous food and give food in frequent and small amounts and avoid large meals. You should take Azithromycin as well as it could be the case of co-infection. Drink plenty of liquids. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. Get blood tests done if symptoms keeps on persisting. Do tepid sponging as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
