Hi,
Noted the history about your 13 year old daughter who has developed
viral respiratory infection, negative for
strep throat and Mono, now developed
stomach upset and numbness in left arm is tired.
Viral infections can cause any complications due to its spread to all over body and affecting all organs and tissues, gastrointestinal system is one of the commonest to get affected next to respiratory system.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Maintain hydration and electrolytes by an appropriate replacement.
Send stool for lab and if there is any bacterial infection to get treated with an antibiotic,
metronidazole.
Give her probiotics, curds, bananas.
Symptomatic treatment as required for example
paracetamol if there is fever.
The cause of numbness in the left arm may be in the neck muscle spasm or an actual muscle affection like myalgia. Apply local rubefacient liniment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
