What Causes Pain In Fingers And Toes When Suffering From Gastroenteritis?
Hi my 5 yr old daughter has been having gastroenteritis for about two week. This past week she couldn t weight bear on her legs so couldn t walk. She was admitted to hospital and released on the third day without pain but crp of 53 and esr 20. She s still complaining of random pain in fingers and toes and sometimes legs. Any advice on what it could mean please.
Hi...sometimes low potassium in the blood due to losses in diarrhea and vomiting may cause this. But it is very unusual for these symptoms to go on like this for 2 weeks. I suggest that we need to work up for reactive arthritis as it is associated with diarrhea and also for connective tissue disorders. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
