6 Year Old With Flu/Stomach Virus?
My son has either the flu or some stomach virus. It started Tuesday evening with just a high fever, no other symptoms. By Thursday night his temp got to 105.5. I took him to the emergency room. All the tests they did on him came back normal. They gave him an oral antibiotic to take for 10 days. His fever finally broke Saturday evening. Sunday morning he was feeling better but by the evening he started throwing up. He cannot keep any solids down at all. His stomach is cramping, I'm guessing from lack of food. He can keep some clear fluids down, but that is only when he doesn't try to eat anything. The pain in his stomach has been bad at times, but has since eased since this morning. Anyone know how long this might last? The doctor at the emergency room said it could last 5-7 days and we will be going on day 7 tomorrow. I know the pain in his stomach is more than likely from not eating much the past week. He drinks water and ginger ale and nothing else. He has managed to keep a popsicle down today. I have no insurance so just running over to the doctor is kinda out of the question. More than likely they will tell me what I already know. I know if my son gets worse, I will take him back to the ER. Any help is much appreciated.

First, the antibiotic itself can cause stomach pain and vomiting - you need to find out if this is a side effect of his antibiotic. Second, you should have a family doctor. A phone call to them this morning should have gotten you an anti-emetic (a med to stop the vomiting) or a recheck. It does not matter if he doesn't eat, the fluids are the most important. Check your medication handout that came with your child's antibiotic, see if vomiting is a side effect and then get the advice of your family doctor. An ER visit is the most expensive form of care you can seek and will get you huge bills. A visit to a family doctor is about 1/10th this cost. An average, basic ER bill can easily top $1000 - a difficult bill to pay off.

that's all context:............ a sixteen 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous relationship a 26 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous is going to enhance eyebrows. a 26 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous relationship a 36 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous continues to be going to look strange. a 30 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous relationship a 40 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous is probably a splash greater suitable. I understand WHY a girl might choose to this element an older guy however. It has a tendency to be that men do not mature as early as ladies do, so an older guy has an magnificent variety of appeal. He is familiar with some thing appropriate to the way the international works, is familiar with women folk, and is in general going to be a greater exciting, properly rounded guy than a new child clean out of highschool who thinks he's familiar with each and every thing, and acts super cocky because of the fact of that. The youthful guy is in general not in common terms much less exciting, yet he's punctiliously unaware of that fact. that's not only men. i've got observed that maximum youthful ladies (say early 20s) are boring... they only have not better their horizons sufficient yet, to be waiting to hold a physically powerful exciting verbal exchange. specific, they're eye-catching, yet that may not be the stuff that a physically powerful courting is created from. of direction all that creates a dynamic the place the older guy or woman interior the courting is probably only going to apply the greater youthful one as a "toy," with a view to talk. somebody to have relaxing with for a whilst, till they're bored, and then they flow on. Now, at times, you will locate some thing diverse, because of the fact no 2 people, and subsequently, no 2 relationships, are alike. and that i don't choose to low fee the opportunity of greater. i'm in common terms generalizing. of direction, in case you decide directly to look at why people ask your self approximately this type of courting, that's precisely the attitude you should take. because of the fact, they too, are in common terms generalizing...
