[|Human|] Child in my care for over a month has had 1.pale stool ranging from porcelain white, light yellow, and grey, often constipated with painful; firm bowel movements, 2. about once a week he will have a fever ranging from 100 - 103.5, 3. On his body he often has hives that look like irritated bug bites rarely on his trunk mainly arms, legs, and face, round flat sores on his tongue which even after being cleaned is seems white, but not really thrush white as I have seem that often before, 4. sometimes he has a great appetite hut when he has fever he has no appetite, 5.and he has the sleep patterns of a much younger child requiring 2 naps a day with 4 hours or more of sleep total during day. Please help, the parents wont take him to a doctor and i have this feeling they may know he is ill and are not telling me, I am only his babysitter but I have him over 50 hours a week.
[|AI|]  This at least will help you to understand better the physiology of kids body. Its important that you understand that you are brought to us pieces of a great puzzle.1)Color stool frequently it's a result of what child are eating. Example If he has a diet with lot of milk this can cause constipation and more white color. Otherwise, this color can be a result of a food allergy or intolerance. Or worst like born damage inside his liver.2) Fever it's a sign not a disease, the most common cause are virus infection.3) Yes could be bug bites. Below 5 years kids has they skin with hypersensitivity, so cold or heat could do this too.4) When a child is with fever inside his body is created a substance that makes they eat less. 5)sleeping is a mix of genetic and environment, the range could be of fewer hours until 16 hours per day. I agree with you, its very important that parents be advising to do an appointment with a pediatrician to see if the child is growth and developing well.
