What Causes Body Pain, Fever And Diarrhea?

Hello -- just wondering what might be wrong with me. Woke up yesterday feeling achy all over, with a fever of 100, and immediate diarrhea...no matter what I ate or drank, in less than five minutes it was shooting out the other end. I spent 24 hours sleeping, not eating anything, just drinking water and a bit of chicken broth. Feel better today, the fever is gone, but the diarrhea is still here. Not really a flu bug, not really food poisoning, I don t think. But should I be concerned enough to see a doctor about the diarrhea?

Hi,

Persistent fever and diarrhoea for 10 days need blood and stool tests to rule out infections like shigella, urinary tract infection, sepsis, etc.

Do consult your pediatrician or visit ER to get him treated Asap. He may require complete examination and hospitalisation if required. Get his liver function tested too to rule out hepatitis. For time being oral rehydration solutions and Acetaminophen for fever should help.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
