What Causes Abdominal Pain Along With Vomiting And Fever In A Child?

I have a 3 year old that has been complaining of a tummy ache and has been lethargic with loss of appetite since this morning. She has a current fever of 101.2. Around 2:00 she woke up shivering and than vomited. I took her to the emergency room this afternoon with a low-grade fever of 99.2. They did a flu, RSV, and UTI test. The test came back positive with early stage of UTI, but I am worried there is something else from the symptoms she is displaying? She does not exhibit any signs of rebound tenderness in the lower right quadrant, therefore I do not believe she has an appendicitis. She has never sleep this much, only waking for about 2 minutes at a time.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of abdominal pain along with vomiting and fever. It seems to be due to viral infection leading to acute gastroenteritis. Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of large and spicy meals and take small and frequent meals. You should take proper rest and avoid any exerting thing. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor my order test like stool test , endoscopy , ultrasound and take history. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , ornidazole , albendazole , laxative along with antiemetic drug. You should take antacid after every meal and take light walk after every meal .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
