The patient had no known sick contact.  On 13-SEP-2007, 19-NOV-2007 and 18-JAN-2008 the patient was vaccinated orally with the first (lot # 656705/0241U), the second (lot # 657518/1192U) and the third (lot # 657988/1193U) doses of ROTATEQ, respectively.  It was noted the patient "received the routine vaccines at 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months".

She also reported he had been holding his left ear.  The patient was taking PEDIALYTE SOLUTION).  The physical examination revealed the patient was afebrile, otherwise normal and stable who did not appear to be in any acute distress.  Examination of his ears revealed clear auditory canals and tympanic membranes bilaterally with hearing grossly intact.

The patient also felt warm.  Last episode of vomiting was early morning on 07-AUG-2008.  Then, he was able to keep down the PEDIALYTE SOLUTION) his mother was giving him to keep him well hydrated.  The patient's mother said, "He has good urine output; is playing at times and seems to be improving, intermittently stops playing to hold his belly and cringed a little bit as if he has abdominal cramps".
