Why Is My Son Having Stomach Pain And Upper Body Fever?
Hi, my 9 year old sibiling has been having stomach pains all morning. From the stomach and up towards his head he has a fever but from the waist down he is ice cold. He vomited once this morning but has been laying down ever since. My mother is confused as to what medicine to give him because of his contrasting body temperatures.

Hai... There are 2 possibilities...
1. It could just be a viral infection & its known to cause peripheral vasoconstriction & cool peripheries.
2. He could be in hypovolemic shock as he's dull too. I suggest you go to emergency room immediately. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
