My son has been having issues with his gallbladder we know. He has had ultrasound and it showed sludge. Had a hyda scan and something showed on it. Today he had a Endoscapy scan and now tonight he is running fever of 99.5 and has thrown up 4 times in last hour and half. Im unsure if I need to take him in and be checked!
Hi.it is best if you take your son to a doctor, preferably a general or a pediatric surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. He may be experiencing cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) secondary to his sludge. This, in effect, causes fever and vomiting. Diagnostics (such as imaging and liver function tests) will be recommended as needed. Medical (proper antibiotic regimen) and surgical (cholecystectomy, laparoscopic or open, if indications are found) management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
