Question
My daughter, 1 year and 9 months old, vomited and had diarrhea with fever five days ago. After going to the hospital and being diagnosed with pediatric diarrhea, she was given intravenous fluids and the fever subsided after two days. Her stool also became paste-like and she stopped vomiting. On the third day, she had severe crying that occurred approximately every 12 hours.
Answer
Hello! Based on your description, the child initially had acute gastroenteritis. On the third day, severe crying occurred, in addition to the possibility of appendicitis, it is also necessary to consider the possibility of intestinal torsion, intestinal obstruction, etc. It is recommended to perform an abdominal X-ray and barium meal examination to assist in diagnosis. If further treatment is required, it is suggested to be transferred to a higher level hospital for hospitalization and observation. Please note that symptoms alone cannot determine a specific disease, and a comprehensive consideration of clinical factors is required. If you have any more questions, please consult a doctor.
