Should I Meet Doctor For Stomach Pain, Diarrhea And Fever Of A 5 Year Old?
Hi, My 5 year old daughter has a stomach ache that seems to return after 2-3 days after symptoms have gone. First time was last Thursday and was accompanied with diarrhea. Friday she had light diarrhea, Saturday and Sunday she was fine. On Monday this symptoms returned with a slight fever and vomiting. Her Doctor has not been available and it hasn't been so bad to go to the emergency, but I am concern. Do you think I should take her to the hospital?

Hi,
As she is having this problem sine 5-6 days there is risk of having dehydration due to vomiting and loose motions and fever.
Due to vomiting if medicines is not retained in the body will create problem.
So it is better to go to ER and get examined.
Meanwhile continue giving more water and electrolytes.
Ok and take care.
