What is wrong with my son?

Hey Angelika I'm sorry that your son is ill - I know ho worrying this can be! I agree that you have to take him to the dr and politely but firmly insist that they examine and treat him carefully and explain just how worried you are! If you are worried about dehydration Make sure he takes 10ml of water every 15 mins til you see the dr ( giving it in an oral syringe is easier - I had to do this with my daughter for 24 hours once as it was the only way to stop her from having to go into hospital! Please let us know how you are doing and how your son is progressing - I will be thinking of you!

Well I am sorry that your son is not feeling well. It sounds to me that someone needs to culture your sons throat and see what antibiotic it is suseptible to. (there is a test where they can culture a wound, rash, throat, etc. and then can put it in a petrie dish and send to lab and they can add antibiotics to the petrie dish and see what ones work and what ones don't for the infection that you have.) It sounds to me like your son in not getting the correct antibiotic for his sickness. I have had alot of experience with this due to the fact that my daughter has an immune deficiency and she gets frequent rashes that have to be cultured and tested so that she gets the correct antibiotic. I hope that he gets to feeling better soon.

I had a massive strep infection some years ago. I took ages to go away, and I was running fevers every time I ate, for months. It moved into the lungs, and I had fluid on the lungs for a while. I wound up on painkillers for the lungs and back. Six months later I was OK, but for years, if I got hot, I wondered if I was running a fever. Look out for complications. Sorry, but this is from experience. Strongly suggest you see a specialist. That's a huge dose of antibiotics, and doesn't seem to be achieving much. Thirst is probably due to the fevers, and he definitely doesn't need dehydration to add to the symphony. The repeated fevers would mean a persistent infection, and that his immune system is stubborn as a mule. If he's relatively stable otherwise, that's a good sign. The vomiting is probably getting rid of some nasties, too, but it doesn't sound like much fun, and he does need his food. You might want to try some good fresh green veg to help his digestion, under the circumstances. Green veg and fruit also help supply water, and will assist in replacing electrolytes. The extra water will also help his digestion. Good luck, sounds like a tough time for all of you.

Strep throat can get pretty serious is not treated properly and can even infect other organs in the body. I would take him back to the doctor or see a different doctor. He should be getting better by now. Hope he gets to feeling better soon. :)

For me, the alternative way is herbalisme. Morinda citrifolia is the queen of herbs, and ganoderma lucidum (red fungi) is the king of herbs. Try to find a juice of 'em. And hope your child getting well after all ... :-)

I honestly think that he has a case of the flu. There are many forms of it. You might have to try taking him to a different medical center/hospital. You might need to get another opinion. Being on antibiotics doesn't always do the job. My niece had a bad case of the flu before christmas, and thats what they did for her. It didn't help her at all. She had the flu for almost a month and was almost admitted to the hospital. I think that the antibiotics are getting weaker. They may say that you are getting a stronger dosage, but in the long run, it'ds no stronger than a regular dosage. Now I have no proof to back that up, that is just my opinion. Honestly, if it was my child, I really would consult with another specialist. It is so easy to become dehydrated with the flu.
