Suggest Treatment For Prolonged Fever With Abdominal Pain

My 8 month old has had a high fever (103) since Thursday night. Ibruprofen and Acetaminophen seem to temporarily lower it. She has a poor appetite and quick sharp abdominal pains. Also is lethargic. Is this probably just a virus or should I take her to an Urgent Care Center?

Hi, the symptoms are suggestive of stomach infection. An examination by doctor should be done. Child will probably need antibiotic. Take care.
