Re: vomiting and belly pains

[Guest guest]

I am sorry to hear about your daughter. I know that sleepless nights are brutal.

In my experience, if there is a bug " going around " my daughter (also two) will

get a fever with it. It seems that it brings on an episode, or something like

it. The bug symptoms are less severe maybe then in my others kids but it always

has a fever in her that is not what my other kids had. Just thought I would let

you know how it is here!

Good luck!

Hi

It really sounds like a virus possibly combined with a fever episode.

God Bless

Hi, this happened to my son (3 years old) after his first Prednisone

dose. He got diarrhea and vomiting for several days after the

Prednisone during an otherwise normal fever attack. As it turned out he

tested positive for salmonella. It was all kind of odd, but the

suspicion is he was a salmonella carrier without symptoms and the

Prednisone somehow irritated the salmonella which had not bothered him

before. It's all a guess at this point though, who knows what

coincidences may have been involved.

Regardless, it was a complication of something else in addition to the

Prednisone, so it wasn't a direct reaction to the Prednisone itself. He

was tested for the salmonella over a few months and now finally it is

cleared up. We plan to try Prednisone again during his next normal

fever attack since we believe it didn't directly cause it.

Good luck to you. It was definitely really really tough.
