My 14 year old son gets fever and vomitting lasting about 24 hours every week. Its been going on for about 2 months now. Hes tired all the time and now loosing weight. I dont know what to ask his doctor to start find the real source of all of this. He has been told he has the flu but I know that is not the case any more.

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Cause of persistent vomiting should be ruled out. It could be because of viral gastroenteritis,typhoid, or any enteric diseases.Get Widal test to rule out typhoid .meanwhile give him antacid and see for the relief of the symptoms.
Thank you,
Take care
