What Causes Persistent Nausea, Headache And Exhaustion?

YYYY@YYYY My 14 year old son started having c/o headache, nausea, stomach pain, low grade fever and weight loss two weeks ago. We ended up in the hospital after 7 missed days of school and 10 lb weight loss. xrays showed constipation. All his blood work came back as normal. after 12 doses of miralax and another xray, he was sent home. However, he continues to have bad nausea, headache and is very tired all the time. He has missed almost two weeks of school. I have no idea what to do next. He continues to lose weight secondary to the nausea. Any ideas what i should do next???

As per your query you have symptoms of persistent nausea, headache and exhaustion. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food allergy, gastroenteritis, acid reflux, food poisoning and electrolyte disturbances. You should take plenty of fluids and diet rich in multivitamins and take paracetamol for headache. Avoid intake of outside and hot and spicy food substances. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy of esophagus , X-ray of upper digestive tract and ambulatory acidity test . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers , proton pump inhibitor along with antacid. For now avoid eating spicy food and also avoid seafood and nuts .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
