Hello, My 26 year old son had his spleen removed approx.nine years ago. He ingested a lot of sugary foods yesterday and he just called me due to being very ill this morning with diarrhea, vomiting, chills, and a slight fever. He asked me for advice on what to do for these symptoms. My immediate thought was that he was describing classic flu symptoms. Afterward, I started to think that the things that he ingested yesterday might be related to him not having a spleen. He does take a daily multivitamin daily. I would really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback concerning this situation. Thank you.
