Sickly Little One - Nothing seems to work.
If anyone has experience similar or can offer advice it would be great.
My DS is 5.5 yrs old.
For the last month or so he has had continous coughing fits and sore throat. After 2 courses of anti biotics, last week he began developing a fever (would mainly spike at night).
He began eating less and less and complaining on stomach cramps. Thereafter (and since then) he pretty much vomits everything he eats - which is little enough to start with.
He has been hospitalised 3 days ago.
They have drawn blood to check for major viruses - none found. No signs of diabetes.
Ultrasound to check bowels, appendix etc. Nothing abnormal found.
X-rays - nothing found.
Due to the previous courses of AB's the hosp is only giving him CalPol - 3 times a day.
Since yesterday he has developed blood in his stool. (the stool has also become very loose).
Today his has elbow (the same one that they drew blood from) has swollen to 3 times it's size and red spots have appeared on his back, arms and genitals.
The doctors cannot seem to give us a decent explanation for the stomach cramps/ vomiting etc. and now are unclear and saying that it might be Juvenile Arthritis.
Has ANYONE gone through something similar? We are at our wits end as there seems to be no concise diagnosis from the docs or the hospital.
Overall DS has been a normal kid with no major health issues - just the usual sniffles, coughs, etc.
I'm not expecting major medical advice but would like to know if anyone's LO has been through something similar...
Thanks in advance ladies.
