Last week my five year old had a sore throat and runny nose. We treated her with children s motrin and honey, lemon, and coconut oil cocktail. Children s motrin as directed and the cocktail frequently throughout the day. Last night she complained of shin pain. She couldn t describe the pain. She kept shaking her leg and I assumed it fell asleep. This went on far too long for an extremity falling asleep. We fell asleep. She awoke a couple hours later with the same complaint. We gave her Tylenol. She fell asleep. She awoke this morning c/o sore throat, treated with Motrin after eating breakfast. Took a nap, woke up around 2:30 crying, stating her eye hurts. Temp revealed 103 forehead. Given Tylenol. About 20 min later she vomited. Now complaining of burning stomach. She ate breakfast and lunch but nothing since the nap.
Hello. I just read through your question. Your approach has been excellent but at this point we have to consider that the throat pain, and accompanying symptoms, may be due to a bacterial infection. If they are, it is likely she will need to be treated with antibiotic in order for the illness to resolve. With this I mind, I recommend consulting with your doctor, so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
