What Causes Nasal Congestion And Stomach Pain In A 3 Year Old Girl?

My three and a half year old daughter is having nasal congestion, fever, is lethargic, complains of a stomach ache, refuses to eat, is dehydrated and is having trouble sleeping. I took her to the doctor on Monday and they checked for strep as well as diabetes. Is there anything else we should be looking for? She continues to complain that she is thirsty and her fever seems to be coming and going. She cycles between fever and chills. Could she have influenza?

hello..
Thank you for using health care magic.
As your child is on antibiotics. It is due to that she is having gastritis and other gastric disturbances.
Antibiotics ll cover the cause of fever too.
As gastric disturbance is there it is obvious that appetite ll reduce but hydration is very necessary.. you can provide different fruit juice, lemon or coconut water. even she takes milk that is useful.
monitor the sugar level regularly.
once the infection subsides the symptoms ll relieve.
I find this answer helpful
