What Could Continual Abdominal Pain With High Fever Despite Panadol Intake Indicate?
Hi, my 6yr old son has a high temp of 39degrees, and has sharp pains in his lower stomach. Panadol doesnt seem to be helping, and doesnt decrease his temp. Weve been to the hospital, and had a locum come out, theyve both said rest, water, and panadol will help , but its still happening after four days. What do i do next?

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having stomach virus giving rise high temperature.
Panadol will work if you give enough water and liquids which will produce profuse perspiration helping fever down.
Give him rest and light food.
If fever does not respond within 23-3 days go for S. Widal test to rule out typhoid.
Ok and take care.
