What Is The Treatment For Fever, Fatigue And Abdominal Pain With Lethargy In A Child Suffering From Seizures And Hallucinations?
I have a response to a question already but cannot access it?? I will ask again, I guess.
My daughter's fever has been consistently high, with fatigue, pain with movement and abdominally, one vomit and lethargy/sleepiness. She's complained of her eye hurting and stinging cheek/arm. A skin redness comes and goes. All of my children have terrible fevers (super high, seizures, hallucination) and she hasn't quite hit the 3 day mark yet. Do I wait it out? I read all the symptoms and none of them point directly to any one illness but there are some that point to major ones so I'm not sure if I'm being overly worried or not taking it serious enough.

Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, I think it is absolutely necessary to rule out a condition like meningitis. This is an infection that affects the brain and if it is not treated in time or well treated, it might have complications on certain senses of the body or even lead to death. I would suggest you rush the child to an Emergency room doctor or pediatrician for proper assessment and management.
I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish your child good health
