A member asked:

My four year has had decreased appetite for a month now. and now she is complaining of stomach pain and vomiting. could this be more than a bug?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A viral illness (bug) generally lasts 4 - 7 days. After a month other reasons need to be considered. Time to see an in person doctor.
