Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
It looks he has some digestive system issues. Needs proper work-up and treatment. Nausea weakness, fever, etc. all suggests there is some kind of infection. May be worm infestation, constipation, food poisoning, liver issues. All needed is thorough evaluation. Consult some gastroenterologist immediately if you don't wanna go to the ER.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable starred feedback to help me assist you in a better way. Go to my profile to write a Review regarding your experience with me here at my Virtual clinic.
