What Causes Tummy Problem,soreness In Throat And Fever?

Hi, my 2 year old son started running a fever (101.1) last night and was complaining about a tummy ache. I administered Motrin at 8:30 pm. He woke up at 3:30 am and fever was up to 102.7 and still complaining about a tummy agree. He doesn t appear to have any other symptoms aside from a little post nasal drip that I can hear in his throat. It doesn t seem like it s the flu, but unsure of what it may be. Any thoughts, advice?

Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. The fever in your son indicates an infection. The location of the infection is not clear from your description but it could be in the intestines for which he could get a tummy ache. The post nasal drip is probably due to an allergic component of some infection that is more likely to be respiratory. But since you say that he does not have a cough, the chances are low. It would be best to consult a doctor directly who would be able to say better and intervene accordingly. I would not advise you to self medicate.

Hope that will take care of your query. Feel free to communicate back in case of further queries if any.
