My son was DGN with Acute Gastritis. No test were ran on him that should of been ran to see if this is actually what he had. I looked AG up and nothing it said of the symtoms came close to waht he was having other them vomiting. He was place on med called Septra Ds and again this med is not for what he has even if he did have AG. I looked up this other my son symtom and came up with Gastroenteritis which sounded more like what my son was going threw.I need advice ASAP from anyone who can help.
I taking my son to his Pedtr today and demand that they run test on him to see if he has this AG and if so get the proper med for this and if not then we need to find out what going on.
I forgot to mention he started vomiting after he ate Wendy's. Before that he was fine.

More often the cause of these vomiting/diarrhea (not sure if your son currently has) episodes is by a virus where antibiotics will provide no relief.
If the symptoms are persisting, including the diarrhea, stool studies are sometimes obtained which can identify certain bacteria (which can come from food poisoning among other things) and an occasional virus.
But the usual course of a gastroenteritis (which is the vomiting/diarrhea we talk about with a "stomach" bug) involves vomiting for about 1-2 days, which then resolves but the diarrhea can continue for quite some time. The most important thing to follow during these illnesses is the hydration status.
Hope this helps,

I'm just nervous about what I found out on the internet. I'm going to get his ER papers to see what was done during histime there. I was left confused on what they did more than what they said.
