Why Is My Grand Child Sick From Week And Is Throwing Up?
I hope you can help. i have a grand child that has been sick every since this last friday. throwing up and with a fever, so we took her to the ER. dident get any help there. so come home. so she has got worse as of last nite with some rash fever again. so go back to another ER. and dident get any help there. so we took her to pediatric today. and guess what he said she needs to be in a hospitle but he cant do that. i dont no what to do for my baby. can you give me some advise please.
Hi thank you for choosing Healthcare magic. I'm sorry that you had to run around the ER twice. Regarding your child as he has fever with rash it is better he is hospitalised for observation as the rash may be a wide variety from simple viral to serious meningococcal infection. As the pediatric consult has advised you so after checking your child it is better you get admitted, if not atleast get some baseline investigations done to rule out any major cause. If your child is active, feeding well , passing urine regularity with the rash now fading you needn't worry much. But he has any one of danger signs like drowsiness, inactivity, increasing rash, not accepting food, not passing urine etc you have to consult the ER immediately. Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care.
