My son is 5. He has been complaining about random pains in his body. We took him to urgent care yesterday morning, when a fever showed up, and his Dr. had no openings. They found an ear infection. He was started on Amox. Then last night he began vomiting and diarrhea. About 5 minutes ago he started complaining that the pain in his arm was back. (it has been here off and on for over a week, but half the time I don t know if he is pretending). However, following his cry about his arm, he grabbed his chest, started screaming that his heart hurt and for me to do something. I called the Dr. and left a message. So my question (finally) is, could this be a heart attack? Should I take him to ER or am I ok waiting for the Dr. to call back? Oh, the pain is in his left arm. the other random pains have included his right leg and his head.
