My 8 year old daughter has been sick since Tuesday night last week. She started with 2 days of vomiting and complained of stomach pains then appeared to be better on Friday just a bit tired. Saturday she felt better in the morning so went to tennis where she became dizzy and started to feel nausia again but didn t actually vomit. She hasn t wanted to eat much at all and has been weak lethargic and dizzy. Has been sleeping or lyeing on lounge since Saturday. She has had a bit of fever but not extreme.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

If there is no other symptoms like loose stools, frequent urge to urinate or pain on urination, we need not worry. This might be a viral illness.

Let her take rest for 3 days, drink plenty of fluids and have a soft diet. Give Paracetamol for fever, and avoid spicy food. She will be alright in 3 days.

If fever continue beyond 3-4 days, or she develops fresh symptoms, we can evaluate further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
