Suggest Medication For Fever Causing Sore Throat & Loss Of Appetite
My son has had a sore throat starting on Friday afternoon with a fever of 100.8. I took him to urgent care where they did a strep test and flu test, both were negative. We were sent home. Since Friday his fever and sore throat continues and only goes away with ibuprofen. Saturday he also started complaining of stomach pain. He is not sleeping well and has little to no appetite. I have been making sure he is drinking as much water as I can. He has had one normal (although small) bowel movement this weekend.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having some infection, bacterial or viral.
As problem persisted, he might require one course of antibiotic medicine.
Consult your doctor again and get examined.
Ok and take care.
