Are fever and throat infection symptoms of swine flu?
Hello doctor,
My 26 month old son had a 100-degree fever yesterday morning. So, I gave him Combiflam and he was fine the entire day. The next morning, he got a fever of 103-degree. So, we took him to the doctor, who said that it is a throat infection. Besides a fever and mild cough, he did not have any other symptoms. I have given him the medicines again now and he is fine. I am worried about swine flu. Should we get tested for it?

What causes fecaliths on ultrasound with stomach pain?
Hi doctor,
My 4 years old son is suffering from stomach pain from the last eight to nine days. He mostly complain about that in the evening time or after mid night. If I massage his stomach he feels relaxed. He underwent an ultrasound along with appendix and some other blood tests including TB. All reports are fine. No complaint of loose motion. He is feeling down from a couple of days and not eating properly. Suddenly he starts to complain of pain in the stomach. But the pain does not remain all day. Even in the school, he sits with his head down in free time. Please advise me on what is the problem and remedies for the cure?
He is currently taking Duphalac, Drotin DS, Zentel, and Metrogyl.
