What Causes High Fever And Abdominal Pain In A Child?
My 4 year old was sent home from daycare with 101.1 Fever and is complaining of stomach pain , I am aware that is pretty general complaints but our DR S office is closed and I am away for work so she is with my husband who is basically freaking out , Other than treating the fever and keeping her hydrated any other suggestions about the belly ? Thanks, YYYY@YYYY
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. It seems to be due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should avoid giving any outside food to child. 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
