My 16-year old daughter has been ill for 8 days now.  Symptoms are vomiting (in the first week), loss of appetite, excrutiating abdominal cramps, sore throat, slight fever, lethargy.  A doctor administered two antibiotic injections three days ago...she is still ill as before.  What could be the problem.  I am becoming extremely concerned
Hi. The commonest cause of pain in abdomen, vomiting, fever, sore-throat and all in a girl of 16 years can be due to infection. Only 2 shots of antibiotic may not work at all. I think she needs to continue a course of an antibiotic and symptomatic treatment. Till then get her blood, urine, stool and ultrasonography done. Tidal for typhoid to be done. Take a second opinion of another Doctor.
