What Causes High Fever And Abdominal Pain In A Child?
my 3 year old daughter is sick, we are trying to decide if it is necessary to take her to the hospital. She has a high fever 103.2 axillary. weve given her tylenol and have a cloth with ice packed around her neck. I have asked her if she has pain anywhere and she only tells me her stomache. I think maybe a stomache virus but not sure
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child is suffering from high fever and abdominal pain which seems to be due to viral or bacterial infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Do tepid sponging as well to lower down fever. Take diet rich in fresh juices and fruits. Drink plenty of water and fluids. Take multivitamins to booster immunity of body. Abdominal pain could be due to excessive suffering from fever and it could be due to stomach cramping. You should take a muscle relaxant as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
