Hello, This child seems to have a significant tummy pain loss of appetite fever suggesting there is a gastrointestinal infection. The child has been having poor activity or lethargy since she has been sleeping for the last five days. I would like to know how many times has the child passed urine in a day, its color?  You have mentioned the child is not eating and has vomited the food. There is a leg pain as well?  This child needs immediately taken to the nearby hospital/ emergency room. We need to investigate the child for gastrointestinal infection, by doing a few blood tests like total and differential counts, serum electrolytes, ultrasound abdomen. The leg pain seems to be significant and needs to be evaluated as well. I would request you to get her back from school and do the necessary tests soon. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
