Hi, I have a 3 year old daughter, she has been suffering with night sweats and complaining of back pain and now has grey coloured stools, she is being treated for a water infections at the moment, she also has no apetite and this morning started to vomit? any ideas or suggestions please?
Hi, The vomiting and loss of appetite (I guess it started along with the said infection only) may be a part of food poisoning/water infection you mentioned. But whenever a child is having excessive night sweats and back pain of more than few days' duration, I used to get a complete blood count with ESR and a peripheral smear. This is to rule out important conditions associated with high blood counts. This is especially important if the loss of appetite was there for long, even before the food poisoning and if he had significant weight loss. Kindly discuss with you doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
