She had a fever that went as high as 101.6, she got lathargic, she didnt want to eat or drink, she had and still has bile looking poop very bright yellow and looks like stomach acid, and now her lower abdominal seems painful when i gently press on it. I have taken her to the doc about 3 times and the hospital once and they just check her vitals and blood presure and sent her home and said just watch her. Also her heart rate was like 161 to 170

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks for all the advise and turns out she just had the flue but I had no idea this is my first kid and everyone in our house got this and her doctor said sometimes kids are just sick longer than we are.

DIDN'T they test her for anything? Like roto-virus etc.? They CAN do that.

TAKE her to the ER.

She can get seriously dehydrated... and that is very serious, as well.

TAKE her to the ER.... not the Pediatrician.
The ER hospital WILL have the tools needed to test for things and to handle her if she is dehydrated.

Our pediatrician's office usually didn't consider it to be a problem until a temp was over 103. She's pooping, even if it's not the usual color. As long as she's drinking sometimes (and wetting diapers) she's got enough fluids in her. If it's an intestinal virus and it's causing some extra gas, sometimes that can be pretty painful. If my son was feeling crummy a warm bath usually helped him feel better. Watching her is good and keep track if any new symptoms come up.

Hi,

I would take her to Phoenix Children's Hospital, not just a regular hospital. Tell them what is happening with her and ask them to run some tests. She is your daughter and you know when she is not well.

I hope she is better soon!

If she is like that you really need to take her to the er, forget the dr's office, to me it does not seem like that they care that much, i would also try to find a different dr for her.
