What Causes Back Pain, Dizziness And Headaches?
Hello, I have an 19 y.o son who has been sick since Tuesday 7/6 running really high fevers, body aches spinal pain, dizzines and headaches. My husband took him to the clinic on Wednesday 7/7 they said it would be best to take to ER which we did twice now. the first day was on Wednesday 7/7 and on Thursday 7/8, they did saliva, xray (2), urine, blood and spinal tap test. His test came back fine.
He is still running fevers plus all the symptons mentioned above and as of yesterday he has started vomitting and diarrhea.
He doesnt eat, but is taking in fluids.
When he went to hospital the second time his fever at time of arrival which was around 6:00 p.m. was 104.9 at discharge which was 12:30 m.n. it was 103.2.
What can I do
