I have an 8 year who got a severe sunburn on her face yesterday and tonight is complaining of a headache to the point of tears. She has had diarrhea. She took a nap and woke up feeling better but had the bout of diarrhea post nap. She says the headache has returned and that she overall does not feel well. We just took her temp. and it was 98.3. I m curious if she has sun poisoning?
Hi...with a temperature of 98.3 F I don't think it is sun stroke...but it could as well be viral illness, and it is not uncommon for viral illness to present like this. You can give Paracetamol in the appropriate dose every 4-6th hourly if temperature is more than 100F. But apart from this as she is having diarrhea - HY Chat Doctor.
