Suggest Treatment For Fever , Diarrhea And Vomiting

My son is 14. On Saturday, he woke up with flu symptoms, throwing up, diarrhea and a 101.8 temperature. He was fine Friday went he went to bed (after eating Mexican food. I did not eat the same thing). By Sunday afternoon he had a low grade temp and most of the vomiting was over. By Monday night he was stating his stomach hurt. It is still hurting today. I m not sure if he got food poisoning Friday night, or if he truly had the flu. And not sure if we should go the doctor or not. (I just started a new job and am currently without health insurance until May 1st)

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

All this symptoms are indicative of food poisoning.

Food poisoning is nothing but acute gastroenteritis due to toxins of contaminated food from infections like bacteria, virus,parasite etc.

Symptoms usually starts after 12 to 24 hours of eating,like nausea,vomiting,abdominal pain,loose motions,fever,weakness,fatigue, headache,abdominal cramps due to water and electrolyte imbalance.

As per your symptoms, you have this gastroenteritis and will require antibiotics(ofloxacin with ornidazole), antispasmodics, antiemetics,probiotics and other supportive treatment as per your symptoms.

So,consult physician for proper treatment.
