A member asked:

My son is 6 has a heart rate of 140 resp 32 throwing up diareah temp 100.2 body aches chills should i take him to er?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Other symptoms: Sound like the early course of most stomach viruses. The pulse,resps and temp are all within expected limits. If he has taken in enough fluids to pee every 6 hours,is alert and able to respond well, you can monitor at home. If it persists or you get spooked by his look or pattern, take him to his regular doc during regular hours. The ER is often a poor place for a 6 yo with mild illness.
