Hi... for the last week ive had flu-like symptoms that include constant aching knees and joints. Also neck strains and pain that comes and goes. I have fevers regularly, headaches, slight dizziness, loss of appetite, tiredness, chapped lips and stomach pains. ive been to the doctor and theyve told me to just rest, but I have the feeling that its something bigger.. Thanks, kim
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever and stomach pain which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis. Need not worry. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen for fever in dosage of 15\u00a0mg/kg. You should take proper rest. You should take plenty of fluids to rely Chat Doctor.  Furthermore, you should do tepid sponging as well. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of fever whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You can take paracetamol along with antacids/ proton pump inhibitors. Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages and hot and spicy food. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
