How To Treat The Fever And Vomit In A Child?

My daughter has been sick for 5 days started with her throwing up once and then her fever spiking to 100.4 the fever stopped but she is still sick from her tummy doesn't want to eat and her stool is now a light grey colo and smells awful I took her the the pediatrician today and they didn't do much just told me to keep her hydrated and keep her on a BRAT diet I'm still worried shes been having a lot of gas and shes complaining about pain in her back not sure exactly what side. Any help? Could it mbe liver problems? E-coli? Salmonella? The dr said if shes not better in two days take her back he also did mention that she had mucus in her stool. I'm worried sick

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for following up. You understand she is still has infection E.coli, Salmonella, Klebsiela or other ,we don't know, because we didn't do stool culture and stool analysis. Pain in tummy will disappear only when we will kill infection, thats why you start antibiotic cefixime according to weight 8mg/kg 1 time 5 days after meal, visilac 1 caps 1 time 14 days for prophylaxis of disbakteriosis. Give syp.cyclopam (dicyclomin)-spasmolytic. Check urine analysis, because she can have renal complication.For absorption of gases and detoxication give charcoal 1 tab for every 10kg of child in bed time 5 days. Continue rehydration with ORS.
Best regards
