What Causes Stomach Ache And Fever In Children?
My duaghter, age 5 got out of the hotel pool saying she didn t feel good. When she went to bed she said her tummy hurt and she had lots of gas and began running a fever. We are giving her Tylenol to reduce the fever and put her in a wa bath for awhile. She said her tummy feels better but still had a fever. I don t know how high since I don t have a thermometer with me at the hotel. Right now I have her laying in bed with a cool towel on her back while she is covered up to try and lower temp. Any other suggestions b

Thank you for following up. In view of above , I believe she has infection in tummy after swallowing water in pool. I appropriate your attention to her condition. It can be also viral infection with intestinal syndrome .
You can try to give her niftas(nitrofurantoin) 1 tablet 3 times 7days, econorm(saccharomyces) 1 paket 2 times 3 days. If her pain will not decrease, then start to give antibiotic-cefixime in the dose of 4mg/kg/dose 2 times during 5 days
Best regards
