Child Has Fever And Started Vomiting. What Could Be Causing This?
Question: my 3 year old daughter has thrown up lunch and dinner and has a 96.5- 97 degree temperature. She otherwise seems okay.
Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Your child seems to have gastritis with vomitings.
You can give anti emetic like ondansetron or domperidone in prescribed dosage to stop vomitings.
Give sips oral rehydration solution(ORS), coconut water to prevent dehydration.
Monitor her hydration status by observing the moisture of tongue and oral cavity, her activity, skin turgor and urine output.
If the vomitings are continuing or child develops any signs of dehydration, consult the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification, please let me know.
Regards.

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Vomitings are some times associated with autonomic instability which causes body temperature variation and once the vomitings are controlled the temperature will return to normal.
Provide appropriate warmth and measure the temperature after one hour, if the temperature is still low call your doctor.
Hope i have answered your query up to your satisfaction and kindly give me feedback if you are willing to give.
