Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Prolonged fever of 2 to 3 weeks, pale complexion, and the occult blood on stool examination, and weight loss are significant symptoms and needs further evaluation.
The following possibilities should be ruled out initially by doing investigations:
Malaria
Typhoid fever
Tuberculosis
Urinary tract infection
Hematological malignancies
Collagen vascular problems like lupus, rheuamatoid arthritis.
And basic investigations like CBP, malaria, widal test, CUE, ESR,
Mantoux test, Peripheral smear for abnormal cells, ANA,
rheumatoid factor can be done in the initial stage.
Depending on these initial tests, further investigations are planned to diagnose the problem.
And the definitive treatment depends on the diagnosis.
Therefore I advise you to coordinate with the
Pediatrician and the GI doctor to come to a conclusion on the child problem.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
