Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Son left school with diarrhea and vomiting. Also has a sore throat. School nurse says tonsils are red and a little swollen. Sounds virus-related to me so I wanted to give him a few hours to see if he feels better since his fever is only 99.5. Any big red flags that should warrant an immediate trip to doctor where he d likely be exposed to other illnesses and exposing others to him?
Hello I had gone through your question and I really appreciate your concern this could be a acute gastroenteritis or URTI warning signs in such a case are following high grade fever with chills Uncontrollable vomiting bloody diarrhoea or abdominal cramps dehydration
