My Infant Son Had A High Fever Today. We Took
Question: my infant son had a high fever today. we took him to the dr and he has an ear infection. he isnt sleeping well and threw up. should i be worried he has the stomach bug too or can you throw up when u have an ear infection??
Brief Answer:
It is all in the same spectrum of infection please
Detailed Answer:
Hello...I understand your concern.
I feel - It is all in the same spectrum of infection please.
When there is ear infection - there is a entity called parenteral diarrhea where the same infection can cause diarrhea too.
Other issue is antibiotic used for ear infection can cause diarrhea too.
Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
