Q: My son is 11 yrs. old and is complaining of nausea, headache and sore throat with no fever/vomiting
Hello Terribeth,
I don't know where you live but here in Maryland, there are a lot of germs going around the schools. If the symptoms you are describing just started in the last few days or week, it could indicate a short term illness such as a virus. With Gastroesophageal Reflux, a pattern of daily/weekly symptoms is seen. Either way, check in with the doctor for advice on how to treat the symptoms at home and when to see the doctor.
