Fever, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Athletic. Treatment?
my son presented with a fever 6 days ago, 101-102.5 is the range, day 3 he had vomiting and diarrhea for the first part of the day but that has stopped. Vomiting was just of sprite or gatorade and stomach acids. Today is day 6 he has only peed 3 times and resists fluids but is drinking and hasn't eaten. Just wants to lay on sofa or take a shower to "get warm" Complains he just can't get warm. He has lost 6 pounds of which he really can't afford to lose. He is typically a very athletic, energetic boy. He is now staring at a blank television and just not himself. I took him to the pediatrician a couple days ago but he is still not better...advice?

hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
i undersatnd your concern,
by severity of the complaints your son have suffered major infectious episode because of complaints like high grade fever, vomiting and weight loss.
it would take atleast 1- 2 weeks to recover from such major illness.
till then
1 give him plenty of fluids
2 give fruit juices.
3 energy rich foods
4 preferably soft diet
5 avoid spicy food.
this will help to increase his weight and general condition of your son.
regards
