Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is giving her children elderberry juice or what ever it called. My 3 year old grandson is complaining of stomach pain and is running low grade fever off and on. This has been going on for about 4 days. Are there any side effects to taking elderberry juice? I believe this is a home made juice.
I think what your grandson is going through (low grade fever off and on; stomach pain) are suggesting acute viral infection.
I advise to: - monitor his body temperature - give plenty of fluids especially plain water and tea - stop giving elderberry juice just in case - give probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
If still no improvement, should consult further with his pediatrician.
