Child Has Stomach Pain, Headache, Dizziness, Fever. Need To Go To ER?
My 9 yr old daughter. Was complaining of tummy ache. Few hours later she is complaining of headache and dizziness . I checked her temp and it is 103.8. I administered motrin and am waiting to see if fever goes down. My question is should I take her to ER or if fever goes down with meds can I wait and take her to doctor tomorrow?
greetings. normally any infection can cause fever. such a high grade fever generally denotes infection in this case as well. the focus of infection can be made by detailed history and examination. so if you see temperature coming down and child feeling batter I think you can wait till tmrw. but at anytime if you see that child looking sick kindly take her to ER.
